This is a Tube preamp by a company called PreSonus called an Acousti-Q. Never seen one before, but looks interesting. I'll try to post a picture of the ad in Worship Leader magazine.

Since it's Tube, I'd love to try one, Any ideas of the cost? Ever heard of the company?

Good company. Good sounding stuff (mostly recording). I am intrigued by this. I have the new Worship Leader but have not even cracked the plastic yet....been so crazy busy. I am going in...hehe.

I have been daydreaming. I think this preamp + the peavey classic 50/50 stereo tube poweramp (50+50 or 100w mono @ 2,4,or 8 ohms) would be very cool. just wondering what kind of cab to put with it. I am thinking something that I could play my acoustic bass (AB-3) or my guitar (810) through. Hmmmmmmmmm. I will get back to you. Now I have MAJOR GAS. I have been looking for a reason to get one of the Classic 50/50s for a long time.

Found them on Musician's Friend for about $225. I think I'll wait though to see if anyone has tried one.

Hey, it's kind of neat that it takes a TRS input. If you had a stereo pickup system like a Blender or Dual Source you could use a regular TRS cable to hook it up. No more Y cable to mess with.
