Default Dual Channel Preamp with Notch Filter??

I'm replacing the pickup system on my guitar with a K&K dual system (the K&K PowerMix Pure XT).

I want a fully featured dual channel preamp to work in combination with this install - I was looking at the K&K Quantum, but it doesn't have any notch filters. Having enjoyed the benefits of notch filters in the past, I would really like to find a quality dual source preamp that has this feature.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Tonebone Pz-pre is a fine dual channel preamp with notch and sweep eq. The filters and eq work equally on both channels so may not be exactly what your are after. I use mine with two Pure Mini equipped guitars as well as my ES2 equipped Taylor and am very happy with it.

Yeah, I've just been on their website looking at it - amazing bit of kit....! Would do the job perfectly, but over here in Europe it's silly money.

Dtar Solstice is dual channel with full eq, notch, gain, volume, effects loop. Can go on a pedal board or table. Great clean clear preamp.

I've heard that they are worth looking at - not easy to find though here in EU!!

I would suggest that you could install the plain-Jane K&K and use a ToneDexter rather than a two channel pre. The ToneDexter is astonishing.

Is it really that good? Even for live performances?

(I had it in my head that it was some fancy modelling studio type set up...!)

It is that good. I and several others have used it live in bars/restaurants and loud outdoor events.

Modeling (or wave mapping), in both the acoustic guitar and electric amp realm is revolutionary.

I can see that I'm going to have to do some more homework! Thanks again for the comments.
