Frequently Asked Questions
The K&K is generally considered more acoustic-accurate, but the M1 offers a more focused, slightly warmer tone that some prefer for stage use.
Yes, the M1 can be blended with a piezo to add warmth and body, but experimentation with preamp EQ is crucial for a balanced sound.
It's a standard 1/4 in jack, and easily replaceable if needed, although most find it perfectly functional.
