A preamp pedal for electric-acoustic guitars. Designed to deliver the natural, rich resonance of an acoustic guitar heard directly, even on stage, it shapes the tone with a simple turn of the ACOUSTIC RESONANCE knob. It also provides AMBIENCE reverb, a LINE OUT for direct connection to a PA, a mute function, and a NOTCH knob to suppress feedback.
