I have a '74 arched-back, spruce top, D-25 with a D-25. With the K&K pure mini, it sounds great plugged into my Fender Acoustic 100 amp. I just picked up a '70 all mahogany flat-back D-25 and had a K&K pure mini put in it too. In comparison, it sounds boomy, even with the bass and middle dialed all the way back. I will say that unplugged, the '74 has a much more focused sound than the '70. Unplugged, the '70 is not boomy, but certainly more brash and unrefined sounding.
Anyone have a similar experience? Any suggestions for taming the beast? Any alternative pickups that might work better? Would a separate preamp help?
