Balanced sensing piezo equalizer preamp for acoustic guitars with tone and volume control knob Product highlights Function: Onboard preamp and equalizer for piezo pickups that provides balanced sensing input and straightforward tone shaping. Includes a silencing function to mute the pickup output when needed. Controls: Dedicated tone control and volume control knob for easy, onthefly adjustments. Compatibility: Designed for guitars and other stringed instruments equipped with piezo pickups. Suitable for onboard mounting or use with external pickup systems that accept a piezo preamp. Design and size: Compact form factor for onboard installation. Lowprofile layout accommodates typical instrument cavities and control spaces. Performance: Balanced sensing reduces noise and interference for a cleaner signal. The equalizer and control knob let you dial tone and level precisely for live or recorded settings. Build: Practical, durable construction intended for regular use in rehearsals, gigs, and studio work. Key benefits Cleaner piezo sound: Balanced sensing helps lower hum and interference, producing a clearer, more consistent output from your pickup. Instant control: Tone and volume knob let you shape your sound quickly without external gear, making it practical for performance and quick adjustments between songs. Reduced handling and switching noise: The silencing function mutes the pickup output when desired, helping to avoid pops, feedback, or unwanted noise during setup or instrument changes. Easy integration: Compact design and standard control layout reduce installation complexity when upgrading an instrument or replacing an onboard preamp. Typical use scenarios Live performance: Mount the preamp onboard an acoustic guitar to control volume and tone on stage, with balanced sensing helping reduce stage noise and interference. Studio recording: Use the equalizer and tone knob to tailor piezo pickup response for a more natural recorded sound and to limit the need for heavy postprocessing. Instrument maintenance and upgrades: Install the unit when replacing or tuning a piezo pickup system to gain immediate control over level and tone and to add a muting option for setup convenience. What it solves Eliminates common piezo pickup issues such as noise and brittle frequencies by providing balanced sensing and onboard EQ. Stops unwanted noise during plugging, unplugging, or handling with an integrated silencing feature. Provides a simple, compact solution for musicians who need immediate, reliable control over their instrument tone and volume.
