Location: Vega Baja, Puerto Rico		Greetings. I have two Ovations: an S868 Elite Special (Flaming Red) super shallow and a 6768 Elite Standard (Orange Sunburst) Deep Bowl. The Elite Standard comes with a FET 3 preamp. What's your take on that preamp compared to earlier and later ones?

Location: Denmark		My observations:
Mid + Tru Balance + Optima: Very clear, almost hard, sound. Good for fingerpicking less good for strumming.
SSB + old type pickup + FET3: Full and relatively sweet sound, Good for strumming and fingerpicking.

FET3: 3 band eq + volume, 1/4" jack
Optima: same + tuner + notch filter + XLR

I like the FET3 but the notch filter is a neat feature. The FET3 seems more sturdy/robust than the Optima
