I agree with you the sound in the video is not the best. It's close but he hasn't nailed the adjustment yet in my mind. Maybe it cuts through for him in his worship band? Dunno... He still has too much Tru-Mic in the sound and the high end is still brittle. The control needs to be bumped down in literally the smallest possible increments until that brittleness is just gone. His mids and lows sound good to me though. It took me hours over a couple afternoons to get it right. It's that touchy. One could call it a weakness of the implementation. I'm not trying to sell Anthem SLs, just sharing my experience with one. Anyway, you need to be happy. Please let us know how your journey progresses. Cheers, _Roger |

The Anthem SL can be difficult to use as an "on the fly" system, I would have to agree. That being said when I play out using my system, I have no issues and it sounds great. I purchased a Fishman Platinum Pro EQ/DI to deal with the challenges of using other sound systems and the whims of somebody else at the board and it works great.
It took me a while to get mine "dialed-in" for a nice natural tone, but I can tell you I've got it to where my L03 sounds as natural as you can get it amplified. The guy I play with has one installed and he is very picky. He likes his Anthem SL as well. Hey, if it ain't doing what you want, I'm all for changing it. |

The Schatten is just an option because of how easy it is to install. Schatten is a Canadian company so they are very close by. I haven't used all of their pickups but the ones I have used have been great. I just think it would be a great way to test how I like a SBT in my Taylor without permanently installing it. I can always find somewhere else to use the Schatten if I decide on another system. A Matrix/Dazzo set up really appeals to me, especially if I could find a way to dial some spectrum aura tones into just the UST. I just don't love the fact that it's a stereo set up. It's going to be costly but I am tempted to order and install a few systems and just find the one that works best. |

Regarding my previous Schatten HTN Active, I ordered the most expensive one, the HFN Artist Plus 2 (with Artist II preamp and two thumbwheel volume controls $224.95 USD) right from Schatten Design because I wanted the latest, untainted rendition, straight from the factory--yes, I am somewhat OCD! If you buy this model or the less expensive version without the bells and whistles, be sure to make sure that the three footings of the wooden pickup housing remain attached to the bridgeplate after installation and restringing/tuning as the tape can let go, especially on the center footing. You may have to sand one or more of the footings to ensure continued contact with the bridgeplate as it can slightly deform and not remain flat under string tension. The Trance Audio Amulet M Dual Mono system is the easiest system I've ever encountered to install. Although you should get decent to great results from the recommended initial Amulet locations, one of the great features of the system is that you get to fine-tune it to your tonal preferences by relocating the Amulets as many times as you want without damaging anything.

Just yesterday something simple surprised me. For a few weeks, I had been having a mid forward tone problem with my pickup set, that was getting to be uncontrollable. My guitar was sounding completely different from my vocal no matter what I did. I was thinking that I might've damaged the instrument channel somehow.
Yesterday, I began hearing a noticeable hiss coming from underneath the guitars sound. I pulled the plug and ran a new cable, plugged a Mic into the channel, did all sorts of checks. Turns out changing the battery fixed it. |

How have you been able to resist this long? I have a duo gig coming up tomorrow night and a full-band show Sunday and I cannot wait to plug in my Amulet M again.

No it was with a Cushman UST /quackbuster feather combo. I posted because our problems seemed to have identical symptoms.

I think I am going to order it next week. I need to give the Amulet M a try. It's the only way I will know what all the fuss is about!
