Interesting. I assume that the 3 can be blended, although it would probably be too complex for me :lol:

I have a Dean Markley piezo, the "Sweet Spot" model, in my D25 acoustic. Totally passive, no battery, no controls. It's quite treble-biased, needs some EQ to sound good, but it's surprisingly high-gain. I've grown to like it over the 15 or so years that I've had it installed.

If you decide to get the Trilogy, please let us know what it's like.

I have one of these. I haven't installed it, but I can tell you that the three sources have separate volume controls. So yes, they can be blended.

So, it was easier than expected? I can't decide which guitar to install mine into, and so it sits on a shelf. You may have inspired me to get on with it. Or sell it. I know these are no longer made. Where did you find yours?

I was already in this vintage Fender Malibu guitar when I bought it.
