I have removed Dazzos to adjust the location and if it was the preference of the buyer of a guitar that has been sold. I try to keep my Dazzo’s whenever possible but a lot of the time the buyer is very interested in keeping it in. Half of the time, I remove it.

I was playing plugged in tonight. I mentioned how Teddy showed me the trick of taping the loose lead wires to the underside of the guitar top. Well, he used blue painter’s tape. It fell off tonight. I guess blue painter’s tape is not the recommended method. Good to note.

Yep! So Far, Anyway...
Yes, the "final" testing was the Goodall CJC w/ Dazzo 60's, into the T1 on the overall "flat" setting, no eq and no fx, into the Bose L1 Model II... sounded glorious!
Same for both my Mark Angus 12 string and 6 string, both the size/shape of a Guild F-40 (so, mini-jumbo - very close to the Goodall Concert Jumbo. Both of the Angus guitars took 70's to get the tone we wanted... I can't tell you how psyched I am to get out and perform with these babies! Of course, I'll give a full report when I am able to do so... I have to add that the Dazzo's with the Sunnaudio preamps sounded even better than straight into the T1... I really wasn't enamored of having another piece of expensive gear in the signal chain, and can't really afford one of the Sunnaudio pre's right now, anyway, so I'm glad that the pickups sound as good as they do, straight into the T1 mixer...

Could it be that Teddy has installed every Dazzo I have?
Funny story, I took my Texan to the shop where I bought it to check on an adjustment. They saw the Dazzo sticker and were excited to try it out. I grabbed my SunnAudio Stage 1 DI out of my case and told them to plug it in and set all the EQ flat. They ignored me, plugged into a Fishstick and started screwing with the EQ like it was a K&K. I told them again not to mess with the EQ,use the SunnAudio to optimize the impedance match, and did they have something that wasn't a Fishstick? (not a fan) Again I was ignored. I finally just took my guitar and said it was pointless if they didn't want to hear the Dazzos in a proper light they were wasting both of our time. They were just stuck on the EQ setting they used for every other SBT they had ever heard. Rolled the bass off and then didn't like the bass. Cut the mids then didn't like the mids.

As I'm starting to consider trying a Dazzo, how does it compare to k&k regarding feedback? With the k&k I incurred several times with feedback problems, and now I've upgraded it with an Ultratonic kit which is killer.
I'd rather like not change the pickups just to discover I cannot use it live (I also must say that certain guitars maybe are not the best for SBT, my Lakewood M32C custom has a very responsive top, and gets feedback much more easily than a taylor 814) |

Personally I think feedback is more related to the structure of the guitar than K&K vs Dazzo. The pickups will be similar in that regard in my experience. I have Dazzos in both my Martin M30 (light scalloped bracing and Itailian spruce top) and my Gibson AJ (thicker bracing and Sitka top). The AJ feeds back much less than the M30 in a band situation. So I use that in a band and the M30 for solo or duo gigs. I used to have a K&K in each guitar and it was the same story.

If I played in a loud band, I'd get a soundhole magnetic pickup. If I were buying a guitar for just this situation, I'd buy a Cole Clark and live resigned to rolling mose of the mic and SBT off and living with the undersaddle pickup. The Cole Clark three way system covers all the bases.
I love Dazzos, but maybe not with a drummer.

I had K&Ks in several guitars and experienced the feedback issue quite often. Changed to Dazzo and had no feedback problems with the identical guitars. That's been one magical experience with the Dazzo: Much more natural sounding than any other SBT I know while being much more feedback resistant at the same time.
Same with UltraTonic, which is designed to sound more balanced and feedback resistant compared to a K&K.

Resurrecting thread for a quick question
Hey, quick question for you folks knowledgeable about installing a Dazzo pickup... Teddy's video shows using JB-Weld 5-minute Epoxy, but many comments throughout AGF mention he prefers Loctite 6-minute epoxy gel.
Does it make any appreciable difference? I have an unopened container or Harbor Freight 5-minute epoxy as well as an unopened Loctite 5-minute general purpose epoxy. None are gel. Thanks in advance, Dan

This goes out to euraquilo . I was wrong in the old video saying use the 5 min epoxy . I found out later that the glue to use is Loctite 6 min epoxy gel . Cheers, Dazzo
