Default K&K Trinity, pre-amp?

Got three questions about the K&K Trinity, with a dual source pickup such as the Trinity how do you set it up without a pre-amp? If you set it to say 70/30 mic over the bridge pickup using a pre-amp will it stay that way until you plug it back in and change it? Also if you were to purchase the Trinity without the K&K pre-amp what pre-amp would you purchase as an alternative that worked well with it, has more features, smaller and wouldn't cost more than buying the trinity with the K&K pre-amp so around a hundred and sixty dollars?

This may sound stupid to some people but i've never tinkered around with electrics much but it is something i want to utilise more often so i need to learn

Hi mutley...

I use K&K Dual Source rigs in 4 personal guitars...comprised of a K&K Pure Western Mini and K&K internal microphone. My rigs are all passive (no internal electronics).

I own and use a variety of external preamps. The K&K Trinity, which has it's tone and gain controls on the inside, a DTAR Solstice which is a hefty little unit, a Raven PMB which is about half the size as the K&K Trinity belt pack (about 4 times as big as the K&K and half the size of the DTAR).

The DTAR and Raven have the most features - especially in the output department, with both XLR and ¼'' output.

I know of no less expensive dual source preamps than the K&K Trinity belt pack preamps. Well, maybe the LRBaggs Mixpro belt pack unit is about the same price.

The Ravens are not made any more, the DTAR are readily available.

All volume adjustments will remain unless you move the knobs.
