Take the Stage with great Plugged-in Tone!

The BBE Acoustimax acoustic instrument preamp takes the plugged-in sound of your instrument to the next level! This flexible preamp also serves as a direct box, so it's a useful stage box for virtually any instrument. You get a 3-band EQ for tone shaping, and a low-frequency notch filter to fight feedback-causing frequencies. The Acoustimax is built tough in true BBE fashion, so you know you can count on it onstage. Best of all, the Acoustimax features BBE's acclaimed Sonic Maximizer technology, so you can add some sparkle and pizazz to spice up your tone! If you want a great plugged-in acoustic sound with plenty of tone-shaping capability, get the BBE Acoustimax acoustic instrument preamp.

BBE Acoustimax Acoustic Instrument Preamp at a Glance:

Powerful EQ:
BBE's Acoustimax gives you two powerful EQ tools to enhance your tone. You get a 3-band EQ with a sweepable midrange to fine-tune your sound. One you're dialed in, you can use the low-frequency notch filter to keep feedback at bay - you'll still get amazing tone, and low frequencies won't cause your instrument to start moaning like a banshee!

Built-in Sonic Maximizer:
BBE's Sonic Maximizer technology has been a favorite tool for everything from adding spice to a solo to brightening up an instrument with dull strings. Thanks to the Acoustimax's built-in Sonic Maximizer, you'll have yet another tool to customize your acoustic tone.

Road ready:
The BBE Acoustimax is built tough so you won't hesitate to take it on the road with you. And with the feedback-fighting notch filter and balanced DI output with signal pad, the Acoustimax is ready to be your go-to preamp for live use with any acoustic-electric instrument.

Excellent Pedal

by Isaac from NC

Music Background: Pro Musician, Live Sound Engineer, Recording Engineer
I purchased this pedal about a month ago and have been thoroughly impressed. It is exactly what I needed: a direct box, mute switch, preamp, and EQ all-in-one, plus the BBE Sonic Maximizer. The EQ and... read more [+] preamp work exactly as expected; the features such as DI out, ground lift, pad, and mute switch make it convenient to play at nearly any show under various conditions. The tuner out/effects loop work well too. The sonic maximizer (which I really saw no use for at first), has now become one of my favorite tools both in the studio and live. You don't realize how much it adds to your sound until you play without it. I would highly recommend this pedal to any gigging musician, as it is a great value and a great product! close [-]

I have to say it's the most personal order I've ever made from the pre-ship phone call, to the email, and finally the candy in the box. Thanks! I don't think I could beat the customer service even in a local shop
