i have been using the older version of this for years , and was very happy with it ,,, bought this new one for my second acoustic . thinking it would be an improvement ,,, but i really didnt like it ... it's still much better than any Piezo pickup , but there is a "darkness" to it that i don't like . i tried changing pole piece heights but it didnt really improve for me .. maybe the 3d sensor thing is adding this tone ? not sure ... I would buy the older version again in the future m but not this one sadly
