The completely redesigned Fishman Platinum Pro-EQ Analog Preamp has introduced many updated features over its predecessor, the PRO EQ II in an easy to use, stompbox design. The Pro-EQ's discrete, high-headroom Class-A preamp uses precision, high-speed circuitry for the highest fidelity with low distortion. A 5 band EQ with a switchable guitar-bass mode, sweepable mids, notch filter and phase switch allows the Pro EQ to be used with any acoustic instrument. Its updated stompbox design includes two rugged foot switches that activate the adjustable volume boost and an integrated chromatic tuner. New features also include an adjustable soft-knee compressor to smooth playing dynamics and an effects loop. A balanced XLR DI out with a pre/post EQ switch and ground lift make the Fishman Platinum Pro EQ a great choice for both the performing and recording musician.
