Radial PZ-Pre Acoustic Instrument Preamp Applications
- Using two acoustic guitars on stage - The Radial PZ-Pre is the perfect stage partner for switching between two acoustics. You can have one for backup, alternate tuning or switch from 6-string to 12-string with ease.
- Using upright and electric acoustic - Switch between contrabass and electric or acoustic bass with a simple foot stomp! The Radial PZ-Pre's input is easily optimized to work with finicky piezo pickups for a deeper, more natural tone.
- Using the PZ-Pre on violin and mandolin - Using the Radial PZ-Pre with a piezo transducer will give you more gain before feedback than a microphone. You will be surprised at how good a piezo can sound when connected to a Radial ToneBone PZ-Pre!
