Sonic Nuance
Welcome to the forum for the first time. Greetings from Poland!
The topic has long since expired, but I would like to refer to it. I have Martin D35 with the K&K attachment and I am currently using Orchid Muting DI directly for PA equipment. I am in favor of the simplest solutions on the stage, but of high quality. Recently, browsing the Internet, I found the American company Sonic Nuance, which produces Di-Box with a built-in tuner powered by Phantom: https://www.sonicnuance.com/product/tdi/ Someone may have used this equipment? It's not too loud about this di-box on the Internet. On the company's website there is a link to a positive review of this equipment in use with an acoustic guitar (also from K&K): http://www.bluegrassguitar.com/reviews/TDI.html Maybe someone used this Di-Box and can share their impressions? |

Would an EQ pedal be a good preamp for a passive K&K? Probably a parametric EQ, some way to notch the low mids and shelve the low end.

One of the best players in our area uses a Boss GE-7 (1Mohm input impedance) to buffer, boost & EQ his passive Pure Mini equipped old archtop guitar. It can provide 15db of gain or cut with the gain/trim slider, but I’m thinking it might be difficult to be precise with that little slider.

Best Preamps For K&K P/U
Aloha,
I feel that the best preamp match for the world's most popular SBT pickup - K&K mini - is the one that provides the best available parametric EQ, tone & room control. To my ears that's the Grace Design Felix 2. My favorite all time is the Pendulum SPS-1, (discontinued). Both work great with just the K&K alone & especially well with a dual-source system. I wouldn't use any other preamps for a live gigging signal chain. None of the one's commonly mentioned above provide the depth of control, quality of EQ, bypass capabilities, incredible acoustic tone & room control (feedback) plus other features in any type of room. Class A electronics too. So, If you're playing out regularly, you need a Felix 2. Small imprint. Best results! And it's a great dual-channel studio mic preamp too if you want to record & have the potential for professional results. Check it out. alohachris Last edited by alohachris; 10-20-2023 at 10:12 PM. |

You do need to use the cable “adapter” to get the BiX impedance match (same system ToneDexter uses). Haven’t heard one but I, too, am curious. I have one guitar with a JJB and I’d like to have something that gave a better match for it, but could also work with my other guitar that has the Anthem. (Wish GD had out that toggle into another external dip-switch!)
