Acoustic musicians can now access studio-quality sound processing in a single, comprehensive unit with the ToneDEQ Preamp EQ. This complete performance solution combines a high-quality preamp, dual effects section, tone controls, compressor, level booster and balanced D.I. into one essential piece of kit that covers all your acoustic amplification needs.
The ToneDEQ maintains an entirely analogue signal path from preamp to output, ensuring acoustic musicians achieve the richest possible tonal quality from their instruments. Digital effects are mixed in parallel, preserving the natural purity of your acoustic sound without compromise. Flexible connectivity options include both 1/4″ amplifier output and XLR D.I. output for minimal noise transmission, with the D.I. featuring automatic ground-lifting and selectable pre/post EQ settings.
Fishman’s expertise in instrument preamp design shines through with quality discrete class-A signal conditioning throughout the unit. The high-impedance input proves essential when working with passive instrument pickups, while the renowned 4-band equaliser design provides exceptional tone control across any acoustic instrument. A variable low-cut filter effectively manages sub-bass effects that can occur with certain passive pickup systems.
