I finally got the K&K upgraded to the Ultratonic and got it adjusted properly (along with a neck reset on the guitar), and adding some EQ with the Baggs Align EQ pedal (had a friend adjust the EQ for me while I was playing through an amp at his guitar store), it sounded pretty good. Once I get my small pedalboard built (I put the ToneDexter on it, and also the Align EQ, and a "Big Joe" rechargeable battery to power it all) I will see how I like playing with that. |

Highly recommend the Source Audio EQ2 pedal. Famous guitarists raved about the first version so I pounced on the new one. Aside from the 1mega ohm input, it has a variable low cut which would have been enough. From there, the combination graphic and parametric equalizer with 10 fully adjustable frequency bands and look-ahead limiter makes it #1
Interfaces with your computer and has a standalone app to NAIL every possible problem. It replaced my Tone Dexter |

I find people like Dough Young, those who have tried everything imaginable, to be the true tone chasers among us. Pickups are only the start. Watch his more recent videos on his signal chain. Multiple sources, pickup and mic, run through a very high quality pre amp and a couple of very high quality effects processors. A total and very high quality system evolving as newer high quality products come on the market. Since he and others constantly try new things, they aren't tied to one concept. I, on the other hand, find that the same thing works for me over and over. But my goals are not Doug Young's goals so we are going to arrive at different solutions. He has used the higher end SunnAudio pre. I'm using the Stage Di. It works fine.

+1... k&k totally does not work well for my application as a full time musician. I much prefer the MIJ Takamine Palathetic pickup and/or the DeArmond Tone Boss mag. If I sat still and did quiet finger style shows the k&k would be nice but even then I still prefer the DeArmond; especially for f/s on my D18. But I’m up moving around the stage and audience at high volume and energy for the most part. For my quieter f/s venues (only a few) I prefer my D18/Tone Boss mag.
