Re: K&K Pure preamp issues advice needed
I used the K&K mandolin twin pickup paired with the K&K preamp for quite a while. Sound was good, but the pickup appears to be quite sensitive to handling noise and pick noise which is no surprise due to its placement. I had to rework my right hand technique to playing with closed hand to avoid touching the top with my middle and ring finger. That helped a lot. Another recommendation is to use a high pass filter set somewhere near 150 to 200 Hz if available. You could try cutting the bass on your preamp EQ as far as possible without sacrificing amplified tone.
