I put a Rare Earth Blend in there instead. I’ve got a K&K in my other Eastman.

I had a Spectrum for several years. It did what id was supposed to do very well. However, I found I had a need ( want?) for some basic effects also. So I went with a Trans Acoustic Transit A instead. It handles the typical acoustic pickup well, and adds reverb, chorus, and delay, along with a boost function. For my uses, I value those over having 'the perfect acoustic' tone. Sorry, but I play primarily in church, and have found that most folks aren't even aware of the lack......

The Spectrum has an effects loop, you could have the best of both worlds!

I also tried the Transit A and found that it "colored" the overall sound a lot. I also found the Chorus really weird sounding and it went from almost nothing to way too much with a small movement of the knob.
