I have a Radial PZ-Pre. Mine is the original version. You can select the boost function, or the efx loops, but you can't use both simultaneously. Since I have a reverb pedal in my efx loop, I use a separate boost pedal in the loop as well. The newer version doesn't have this limitation

That 180-220hz is problematic..I inotch that and the low knob up a bit brings some of the sub 180 out..its a delicate balance.. |

I don't use a pre-amp as I apply EQ, levels, etc. on my mixer so I don't need the Bix for functionality. My question is does running your acoustic thorough the Bix just sound better (fuller/warmer?) Does it have some secret sauce?
Thanks. |

What Grace design lets you do is add a 1 MOhm input resistor in parallel to the 10 Mohms that effectively turns the input impedance to 10 Mohms. Resistance is the difficulty for the current to flow. Think of it as a road. If the current has the choice between 10 Mohms = going through the Himalaya and 1 Mohms = highway through florida... Guess what the current will choose? So adding a lower resistor parallel to a much higher one is equivalent to replace the big one to the lower one.

I bought a Roxi recently, but I haven't had a chance to actually plug it in yet. I bought it primarily to use in a vocal chain, so it's a different use case than yours. I bought a Felix for my guitars, but again, haven't had time to plug it in yet. The Felix has more of the features I wanted for guitar.
Generally speaking, Grace Design's philosophy with their preamps is clean and clear, not colored. If you're looking for an artificially hyped sound, Grace probably isn't the answer. Although, you can easily add some color in the effects loop, which is what I plan to do once I get all my stuff hooked up. |

I've been using a BIX for a few years now. Nothing fancy or over-complicated, maybe even a little light in features for some but, at least as far as I'm concerned, it does a great job.
