Say Hello to Your New Favorite Acoustic Preamp

Have you been looking for an acoustic preamp and DI with more flexibility than you’re used to? Consider the Radial PZ-Pro! This 2-channel acoustic instrumental preamp gives you independent switchable control over two separate sources. Each channel has an independent 3-band EQ and filter section to dial in your signal with ease. The PZ-Pro can handle a wide range of inputs. Channel 1 handles piezo and magnetic pickups with ease.

Impressive flexibility

The Radial PZ-Pro’s flexible tone-shaping options make it a necessity for solo performers. Each channel has an independent 3-band EQ and filter section that can be used to dial in the signal to perfection. You can apply the notch filter for targeted frequencies, or the highpass filter for low-end removal. Next, a blend control lets you customize how much of the effects loop hits the output. The middle footswitch also gives you the option to add a piezo boost to the channel of your choice. Whether you’re rocking an acoustic and a microphone or a trombone and trumpet, the Radial PZ-Pro can handle it.

Radial PZ-Pro 2-channel Acoustic Preamp Features:

  • 2-channel acoustic preamp and DI
  • Independent EQ controls let you shape each input signal individually
  • 3-band EQ helps you slot into the mix with ease
  • Hi-Pass and Notch filters cut out feedback and unwanted boom
  • Assignable effects loops and wet/dry blend knob give you total control over any effects
  • XLR input and switchable phantom power (channel 2) accommodate microphones of all kinds
  • Piezo boost brings up your signal

PZ-PRP by Radial

I have 2 acoustic guitars, two different pick ups, 2 different tonalities, which I have on stage at the same time, 2 different tunings.
I wanted 1 preamp that had 2 inputs with separate equalizers, and a boost, this item is the 'bees knees', the 'cat's meow

Great Acoustic Preamp

It's great to be able to mix 2 inputs with a variety of mix choices. In my case, I'm using a Black Angel magnetic sound hole pick up with a Lyric bridge mic-type pick up.

As you'd probably expect, the PZ Pro has separate 3 band EQ with sweepable mid range to dial in your sound. You also have the ability to toggle between inputs/ boost the output/ or toggle to an FX loop.

It also serves as a DI box with XLR outputs with both pre and post EQ. The Radial build quality is excellent and the unit is very quiet. Lastly, I forgot to mention the mute foot switch. There are more features, but I'll leave those for your own exploitation if you are considering this unit. I think it's worth your serious consideration.

UKE TO BASS

Been adding some ukulele songs to our rock and roll sets. Primarily play electric bass. Wanted an easy switch between instruments and just run the uke through the bass amp. Liked the thought of the uke pushing air through bigger speakers. Overall it was just okay. Easy switch between instruments but not really enough EQ to make my uke sound warm and less tinny. Another issue was with the stage monitors with bass and uke being in one monitor channel. The monitor volumes weren't equal with the uke projecting less volume - it would require tweaking the soundboard each time I switched. For my little (and pricy) experiment I'd give my rating a 2 star. I've realized the the ideal way to incorporate the uke in a rock and roll setting is a dedicated peddle board direct through the PA.
On the plus side, I've run my stand up bass, with pick up, and electric bass through the peddle for a gig and it was 5 star all the way. Seamless and lightening fast switching between instruments perfect tweaking of tone for my upright.

Sumsingyu'lluv

I recently purchased a Radial PZ-Pro-2 Channel Acoustic Preamp all with the intention of revamping my acoustic rig for live gigs. This project was to trim down to a small "go" pedalboard. I would like to mention that back in 2006 when I decided to start doing less electric gigs and more acoustic gigs, I needed to get serious about how it all worked and sounded. At the time I was trying a different devise every week, and saying quickly, "that ain't it" and moving onto another product. I fell upon a Rane AP13 rack mount preamp that blew away every pedal that I had been scrutinizing.
So since then I had been carting a rack with an effects unit, the AP13, a tuner and rack power. It had worked very well for a long time. I had however decided to modernize and trim the size down and I recently started the process all over again thinking, after all this time someone had to be making something that would actually sound good. I tried a number of products to include a Grace Alix, which is fairly pricey. The result of that was to my ears and fingers a little too sterile. I then moved onto the Radial PZ Pro 2. I worked with it, added a pedal for effects, and spent a week of time dialing it all in. In my opinion this Radial is the "BOMB"! It really sounds great and makes it a joy to play an acoustic instrument amplified. My mind set is simple in that when recording I use great mics on the guitar. Obviously when playing live you have to resort to the "other" more practical approach. I am really enjoying the sound and performance and I'm sure this will be my go to for quite sometime to come. Kudos to Radial!!!
