The guitar sounds amazing through our Fishman amp, it's certainly opened up a new chapter in our playing .

Possibly the best active Piezo pickup without a microphone
I have the LR Baggs Element VTC on several of my guitars, which in my opinion is probably the best of its type currently on the market. The inbuilt compression sets it apart from others I've tried, and it does produce a fairly accurate tone of your instrument. It's certainly very lively and the only pedals I use with thus are the LR Baggs Session DI and their Align reverb unit, which kill off piezo 'quack' and add warmth.
Chris does a wonderful (and very speedy) job of installing this pickup, and I'd strongly recommend that you use his services rather than try a DIY job at home...drilling that big hole in the lower bout is no joke 🫣

Probably the best active pickup
I generally prefer passive pickups, as I'm not a big fan of that 'piezo quack', but the Element VTC has a much cleaner tone than most piezos, and has some nice inbuilt compression that really smooths out the tone.
As a singer I find the Anthem a bit superfluous because I usually have to turn the tru-mic down to help avoid feedback, which leaves me effectively with an Element VTC, so if I'm going for an active pickup, this delivers.
