The one that came in it back in 2001 -- a Fishman Prefix Pro blender. When mixed about 75% microphone and 25% UST, it gives a wonderful sound on stage - the best of all my guitars. If playing in a high noise environment, I can dial out all of the mic and just use the pickup, for excellent feedback resistance.

Yanked out the Fishman Prefix+ on my OM1000N2 and installed a K&K. Works much better for my tastes in amplification.

I have a K&K in my Shorty. It's OK, but in retrospect it would have been better to spend the extra coin on a Fishman Matrix.

put a K&K in my parlor.....got one in my 000EC......both sound great. KISS.

no effects so very clean, besides that's what mixers are for.
