So I recently purchased the Anthem directly from Larrivee and had it installed on my 000-60 at my local Guitar Center. First of all, I'm a little disappointed on the output level of it, connecting other guitars to the same amp, I almost have to turn up the volume or gain at max for the Anthem just to get the same level as others at a quarter of the levels. I have read at many of these forums that the Anthem is a very low output pickup. With that being said I still have trouble getting the best sound with tweaking the mix knob and the mic adjustment gain. I have a Fender Paramount guitar with built in pickup and when I plug that into my source you can hear each individual string being plucked, I even tap on the bridge or the string slightly where each one is and you can hear the piezo picking up the tap. When I tap on my Larrivee with the Anthem I get that feedback but only with the two E strings and B. The A, D, and G strings almost have no responses. You can hear those strings being strung but I am assuming the microphone is picking that up.
Did I receive a bad pickup? Should the undersaddle piezo be moved around? There is a black marking at the end of it, should it up facing up or down? And it doesn't seem like the tech that installed it drill an extra hole to feed it back in slightly, its just sitting under the saddle.
Here is a little sound test to give you guys a better understanding. https://voca.ro/15lbJZ4FEO2m
