https://youtu.be/XwS5LcgWyNE The NanoFlex turned out to be the most feeback-prone UST I'd ever tried, and it didn't sound that great after I EQed out enough low mids to fix the feedback problem. The DTAR Wavelength which I installed next was much better by comparison - better in tone and better in feedback resistance. |

I can easily make a recording with no reverb and "Woody tone" will definitely be in abundance.

I think the cool thing with pickups is that there are so many choices that everyone can find something that makes them happy. My problem with the Anthem is that I honestly have never heard a demo of it that has made me go "wow!". I think I keep coming back to it because others love it so much. The problem with it for me is that there's this weird high end presence and a bit of a honky mid range that I always hear. When I use it live, I just can't dial it out. I tried it on Saturday and by the end of the night, I had dialed the tru-mic out completely. With that said, it's awesome that others love it and I think Lr Baggs is a fantastic company so I love that there's a system out there that's pleasing so many musicians.
On a side note, my other guitar player has a Taylor guitar from 2000 that has a barn door control set up and the Matrix blend system. He doesn't know much about gear but his wife bought him the Spectrum DI. On Saturday, his rig sounded amazing. Made me realize that I have been spending a bit too much time on gear as that's the system I first started with over six years ago! |

Definitely a bit abstract to this 'one dimensional brain', but that's my problem. LOL I still enjoy the content. Thanks for sharing!

When I got a K&K pickup installed in my Gibson I wasn't very impressed. After that (and before as well) tried many solutions which promised more faithful acoustic tone. And they did deliver that.
Although I've never been entirely happy with any of them. But now, I start to appreciate the simplicity and tone of the pure mini pickup, it could be that I lowered my expectations or my ears got used to it. Especially in a live setting many pickups sound more than adequate, K&K is one of them. Add to the signal chain a preamp with a proper impedance and sweepable mids and you're good to go. The Schatten HFN that I have in the other guitar sounds more natural but for non-guitar players it doesn't matter. So it could be a journey in which you end up where you started, in the meantime spending a lot of money which I don't regret as this brought me where I am with understanding the amplification of acoustic guitars. A good thread by the way, I always like combining gear stuff with a deep philosophical reflection. |

Here is an example of a direct and dry recording.
K&K pure mini with just a bit of the mic from a Fishman Rare Earth blend. www.polyphon-recording.de/k&k+mic2.zip I donīt know how it will sound through a PA system or how big of a problem feedback will be. Dirk |

I'm finished. I exceeded the word count limit for the thread. So, I guess that's all he wrote folks!
