Journey Instruments JourneyTek Passive 3-piezo

Like any electro acoustic player I have tried many pickups searching for that pure acoustic sound. I would say there is no perfect pickup when electrifying acoustic guitar however what I have learned is get a cheap e.q. pedal and good preamp and you are 75% there. Found this pickup for price and ease of installation to be excellent and as good as pickups I have tried at 4 times the cost. Just get e.q. pedal at same time and cut the mids!

I have installed JourneyTek ep001k in a Martin D28 and Blueridge 140 and find it to be excellent, especially for recording combined with mic.
Live it sounds great , better than under saddle piezo offerings at a much more expensive price. Good videos on youtube for installation tips. I use AER Domino amp and Boss Katana so eq is very good and volume is no problem.

I haven't tested other similar pickups from other brands, but I am so pleased with these! They sound natural, woody. I know at some point they weren't in the stock anymore, and I wrote to the guys at Thomann, and soon afterwards they brought it back into stock. Man I was glad! I bought 2 of them and I might purchase another one as I gave one away as a gift to my dear brother-in-law.
