P.S. I have no affiliation with Trance Audio and urge everyone to use whatever systems they feel will best suit their acoustic-guitar amplification needs.

shout out to my new favorite, the Ultratonic SBT from james may engineering. once installed and calibrated (some very clever tech under the hood), the result is startlingly good acoustic tone (a bit better than my old fav k&k’s) and VERY feedback resistant! finally i can use my preamp to sweeten instead of to do battle with the feedback monster. passive, no battery, with an onboard volume wheel and works well with Tonedexter if you want to go all the way... what’s not to like?

It almost looks like anything would work with a Tonedexter, no? Hmm... Wish the things weren't $400.

To me, the Schatten HFN tape installation sounds the best out of the two systems and three methods of installation. The K&K sounds too shrill while the Schatten putty installation lacks the bass response needed to balance out the overall tone. The Schatten tape installation sounds best, overall, but still needs some bass (6th-string enhancement).

Not quite, sometimes just a better class of rabbit hole.

I voted Schatten HFN. Either version is fine but I prefer the passive. I don't use a preamp with my Fishman amp.

I’ve switched all my guitars over to the Trance Amulet. I think it is that good, best I’ve ever used or heard
