Reviews around mini (5.00 of 5)

  • I like that I can now put a Pure Mini in any acoustic instrument I buy in the future and can run them through this little guy
  • If I were K&K, I would pull this product from the market immediately before buyers of the Pure Mini begin to suspect their pickup had the same poor quality
  • This preamp is matched to the perfect impedance of the pure mini

Reviews around control (5.00 of 5)

  • This give me good control and sound for my mandolin.
  • it's simplicity, but at the same time it's a bit crude and cheap, and the controls are not easy to use

Reviews around sound (3.61 of 5)

  • I was shocked at overall how poorly made, how cheap this product felt, and how negatively it impacted my sound
  • The sound is natural and in my opinion the best for a passive pickup system.
  • Now I get a clean, natural sound with all the preamp controls set at unity (midway, in the "12 o'clock" position)
  • The Preamp itself is great and makes my Taylor GS Mini with the K&K Pure mini installed sound fantastic!!
