UST not playing nice with humbuckers
 
I added a UST to a board with 2 existing humbuckers and the UST is coming out with a lot of treble and the humbuckers have flattened out. What do I need to put between the UST and the board to get it all to play nice? Thanks!

An active preamp/blender of some sort. You can't combine those two very different animals passively without serious degradation of sound.

The board they're all going into is a preamp. So would I need another preamp before the board?

Is each source routed to a separate preamp on the "board" before blending? Please add detail to your described signal chain.

Thanks for the reply. It's the Taylor ES 1.3 system in a T5z. They all plug into the same board via molex connectors. I replaced the existing magnetic body sensor with a K&K knockoff (JJB electronics. High quality and a great reputation). Impedance on the original sensor was .06-.08 ohms.

Pictures below. Ignore the question marks on the parts. This was before I really had the lay of the land.
