Alban Guyonnet

I have been using the K&K Vibraphone System for many years. I discovered it thanks to a vibraphonist friend and I was amazed at what I heard! The quality of K&K pickups is the best I have heard on the market. They faithfully reproduce the sound without distorting it. This system is very easy to use. It also offers me the possibility of connecting effects pedals and working on the texture of my sound, which is very exciting! For my part, I add analog pedals that I plug into my old Fender Twin tube amp (from 1976!). The sound is great! I use the Split-Rail Vibraphone System, which allows me to move only with my blades and rails when I go on tour and no external microphones, since the system really does the job. The sound engineers are delighted! Thank you again to the whole team and their work which allows us to continue to develop our imagination!
