Acoustic Preamplifier With 6-Band EQ And Anti-Feedback Notch Filter
Based on the circuit of the esteemed Para Acoustic DI, the Align Equalizer combines the signature, high-graded FET gain stage with powerful tone-shaping EQ that injects richness and balance to any acoustic pickup signal. A 6-band EQ shapes the frequencies that were found most useful for improving acoustic guitar pickups with the flexibility needed to cover other acoustic instruments effectively. Multi-instrumentalists can incorporate dedicated EQ pedals for level matching a variety of instruments and tailoring a specific EQ for each one.
Features
6-Band EQ for meticulous tone sculpting
Variable high-pass filter for best sound and feedback control
Phase inversion for both passive and active pickups
3 position gain switch for easy level control
Garret Null notch filter tames resonant feedback
