K&K Pure Mini: Highest Rated Passive Acoustic Guitar Pickup - 2021.09

Gearank Recommended

The Pure Mini appeared on our recommended list when we first published it back in October 2017 and we've been recommending it ever since. The only alternative option to achieve a higher rating was the DiMarzio Virtual Acoustic DP138 which held the top position from 2017 until September 2020 when it was outranked by the Pure Mini.

The JHS Clover works with

The JHS Clover works with passive pickup equipped electric guitars so it should work fine with passive acoustic pickups like the K&K Pure Mini. Note that the JHS Clover has no instant anti-feedback feature, but you can use its built-in EQ to stop feedback by reducing some of the offending frequencies, mostly the lows.
