The PRE-1 can be used to boost the volume of an instrument during solo performances or to match piezo pickups to regular amplifier inputs. It is also suitable for driving tube amplifier inputs due to its low impedance output signal. The unit can be controlled with a standard momentary footswitch connected to the remote jack. Additionally, it is recommended to use a regulated 9V power supply adaptor to minimize environmental impact.
The preamp is ideal for adjusting acoustic guitars with piezo pickups to standard amplifiers and offers various sound examples for different applications. It is important to note that the specifications are subject to change without notice.
