Product Description
This latest offering from K&K takes the guts of the standard beltclip K&K Pure preamp (preamp, EQ controls, etc), but adds an XLR out and phase switch. This gives it features much closer to the Baggs PADI, but with the added benefit of matching the impedance of your K&K Pure pickup.

The price tag on this pre-amp is a little on the higher side for what it does, and for its construction. It literally feels like a cheap metal box with some basic electronics in it but boy does it perform well! Once you get it dialed in, you can get pretty much the EXACT acoustic sound your guitar is normally putting out (assuming you have this pre-amp attached to a quality amp, and then DI'd out to the mixer.
Control knobs felt a little inconsistent with some being harder to turn than others. The knob on the front for controlling gain is very small and fidgety and can be difficult to see what level it's set at.
What I did to get my sound set up properly was to have a friend sit at the amp and this XLR pre-amp while I sat on the other side of the room with the guitar. I would hear the sound coming from my guitar as well as the sound coming from the amp and would have him make small incremental changes to the output controls until I could hear the cleanest, most accurate sound. Once I had it dialed in, I wrote down the setting in case they got bumped around, and was ready to go!
Overall, I would strongly recommend this if you'll be playing larger gigs and/or want to keep static-noise levels down by being able to keep the gain low on the amp.
If you found this review helpful, please let me know [...]. I do my best to get you the most accurate information I can about the products I use and love to hear your feedback. I only review products that I have personally purchased and use on a regular basis.
Received the K&K and after reading the manual and hooking it up, I was able to get a good natural sound from my amp. It did take me a while to dial it in, but overall it’s easy to use.
