I recently watched an older episode of "That Pedal Show" on YouTube where they basically looked at the K&K and Anthem pickups. I am putting a K&K in my Taylor soon but that episode scared me just a bit. It was obvious that the Collings guitar with the K&K in the video did not have the correct preamp but straight to the board it sounded pretty terrible. It's definitely a pickup that requires a bit of external preamp/eq help so I don't think it's necessarily the most plug and play. I might have to buy one of the battery powered K&K preamps just to have whenever I am without my pedalboard.
On the other hand, the Anthem was pretty great straight to the board with little help. I did not have success with that system but I can see why people like & appreciate it.
