Best Preamp in its Price Range

Product Review
Exceptionally powerful preamp with flat response and headroom. The Piezo Buffer feature ensures that a passive piezo has enough juice and impedance to sound its best and if you have an active pickup, turning off the PZB ensures ample headroom and adequate impedance. The EQ is super effective and the hi-pass filter is a great feature for pulling rumble out of your guitar and if that doesn't work, there's a 200hz hi-pass and a Notch Filter. No excuse for feedback.
I've used mine with two guitars equipped with passive Baggs piezos (LB6 and iBeam) and the LB6 sounded its best with this unit. I think, in the future, I'm going to set up the PZ Pre to blend inputs instead of toggle between guitars. I'm possibly going to add an active mic to my guitar and I think it'll be interesting to experiment with its blending capabilities.
This preamp does it all but I won't give it a perfect score as some might prefer separate EQs for separate sources. That said, it's pretty much perfect.

Your general opinion of this product.
Excellent preamp to use in your electrified aocustic sound chain. two inputs - selectable with a switch or blendable, and with separate switchable piezo boosters if your guitar does not have a built-in preamp.
Dedicated tuner out (don't have to worry about a noisy tuner in line); built-in boost to jack up your volume for leads, switch also controls an FX loop. XLR balanced and 1/4" (amp) outputs. Notch filter to take out the bad feedback frequency. Semi-parametric EQ.
Very solid and sturdy, built well.
Switches are tough and you know when you are engaging them, all jacks seem sturdy.
N/A. EQ works well
Switches work!
High quality finish
So far so good!

Seems Solid, Sounds Great.

Solid, except for the foot switches...
So far it's held up well. I have a feeling the footswitches might be an issue... I think they're the same type as the line 6 modelers have.. which I've had fail... they interact with a board mounted switch instead of being actual switches... I'm gonna baby them.
Your general opinion of this product.
Vastly improved the sound of my piezo violin pickup.
low cut, and EQ work nicely... though, I'm not quite sure if the center hash mark on the unit is actually "0" as if you turn it all the way left and right, the line on the knob isn't actually centered...
