Default New Pigtronix Acoustic Preamp

Hi Everyone,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I gravitate towards this section of AGF since I'm especially interested in amplified acoustics that don't sound like "my guitar, only louder." Certain sounds have interested me for years, for example Keith Richard's dirty acoustic guitar on Street Fighting Man, recorded by overloading an old Philips cassette recorder, or Stephen Stills' wonderful acoustic sound on early CSN stuff, recorded (according to some accounts) by using two 1176 compressors in series.

Anyway, now that I've dispensed with my introduction, here's a new acoustic preamp coming in Spring from Pigtronix, makers of the Infinity Looper. This looks like it might be interesting to anyone playing acoustic in a band, especially when you're up against electric instruments: https://pigtronix.com/product/bob-weirs-real-deal

Hi jparis, and welcome to the forum!
Just FYI, here's a thread I started about this preamp this past weekend.

Don’t know how I missed that, thanks Ed!

No worries. Threads come fast and furious on the AGF, and it's easy to miss one.

I wonder how many players here play an A/E on a very loud stage and are shooting for a "true accoustic" tone? The rare times I'm in this situation (electric jams), I'll just grab one of my under saddle transducer guitars, scoop the mids on my BBE Acoustimax, and wail away.
