Check to make sure it is designed to accept instrument levels. Can I use line-level studio effects with the PZ-Pre? You can insert an EQ in between the instrument and the PZ-Pre or you can insert the EQ via the effects loop and turn it on when that instrument is being used. If you position the pedals after the PZ-Pre in the guitar amp chain or effects-loop, then it will only affect your sound on stage. When the pedals are connected before the PZ-Pre, then this wet effect will be applied to all outputs. You can use effects pedals before or after the PZ-Pre just like any other pedal or you can use the built-in effects loop. Can I use effects pedals with the PZ-Pre?

Just make sure you turn the PZB boosters off as driving one buffer into the other will likely cause unnecessary noise and increase distortion. I already have a preamp for my piezo pickup. With dual output instruments that have both magnetic and piezo contact pickups, you can switch between pickups with the piezo pickup in one channel and the magnetic pickup in the other. Can I use the PZ-Pre with an electric guitar or bass?Ībsolutely! The PZ-Pre works great on electric guitar or bass and gives you tons of control over your signal path. It is a very good sounding, clean & natural instrument preamp.

Studio preamps can be used on voice just as they can on instruments. While most pedals are designed to do one thing, the PZ-Pre is actually a studio preamp that has been put inside a pedal. How can the PZ-Pre be equally as good on all acoustic instruments?
