Is there a preamp with good reviews that can handle dual pick ups, ( magnetic and piezo pickup )
Grace Design Felix Two-Channel Preamp but it's very expensive and you'd still have to pay import duty on it or any other preamp. Even if the Grace or any other preamp is available in Argentina, the import duty will have already been paid and the cost passed on to you, wouldn't it?

An onboard system that may interest you is the Schatten HFN Artist Plus 2 that comes with a Schatten HFN pickup soldered to the endpin preamp's Channel 1 which leaves the Second Channel available for other pickup types, including, I believe, magnetic pickups. You could even solder your Epiphone's NanoMag pickup (after splicing additional-length leads to the NanoMag so it reaches the endpin preamp) to Channel 2.
