Double Bass k&k dual channel pro acoustic pre-amp

I used a K&K 2 channel blender for several years and thought it was fine. Others have said the components and/or design are not the greatest, but maybe I just couldn't detect that, and thought it was fine for my needs at the time.
jrlynch's Tapco suggestion is cheaper, perhaps more flexible, but bulkier. In contrast you can clip the K&K to your music stand or your belt. I have no idea about the fidelity or quality of the Tapco.
I also used an LR Baggs GigPro a little, but it colored the sound too much for me. Looks like the Mix Pro is their 2 channel version. Who knows, you might like the thickness it adds to the sound. It muffled and smoothed out the mids too much for me. But YMMV. If your amplified sound is thin or brittle, the Baggs might be perfect.
