Default Fishman Matrix or K&K Pure?

Out of these two transducers, which would you say reproduces the sound of the guitar most "purely" or "untouched"?

I would probably say the K&K as well. A mic would reproduce it even more accurately.

Hi Uji...
I say ''neither'' because both affect the sound...that's what transducers do.

If you ask which will sound most like a guitar, then I say K&K (I them installed in my 4 acoustics).

K&K also has a transducer set up called the Trinity System. It includes the transducers (3), a condenser mic mounted internal to the guitar and an onboard preamp. I have just the Pure Western Mini system and if it's any indication the acoustic reproduction of the Trinity system should be wonderful.

Yeah I'm aware of that, thanks for suggesting it though. I mainly don't want that because of the controller in the sound hole and the mic that I'll be able to see...
