Get everything you need for your acoustic setup in one neat box with the Fishman ToneDEQ acoustic instrument preamp. At its core, there's a super - clear Class A instrument preamplifier that makes your acoustic pickup sound its best. It comes with a 3 - band EQ and a low - cut filter. The phase switch helps stop feedback, and there's a pre/post - EQ balanced DI with auto - ground lift. You also get a switchable gain boost and a dual effects section with a wide range of effects made just for acoustic instruments. From start to finish, the signal path is analog, giving you a warmer, richer tone. Specifications: Input is 10M Ohm with a discrete class - A JFET design. It has an all - analog signal path with parallel digital effects. The tone control features a 4 - band EQ for bass, middle, treble, and a selectable low cut. The dual effects include 2 types of reverb or delay, 2 types of chorus, flanger, or tremolo. There's a soft - knee compressor and a boost footswitch that can go up to 9dB. You can control feedback with a selectable phase invert. The audio I/O has a 1/4” mono instrument input, a 1/4” amplifier output, and a balanced XLR D.I. output with pre/post routing. It measures 5.36” L x 9.5” W x 2.2” H (136 mm) (241 mm) (56 mm) and weighs 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg). It can run on a 9 - volt battery (not included) or an optional Fishman 910 - R power adapter, with a battery life of 12 hours.
Using the Fishman ToneDEQ is easy. First, connect your acoustic instrument to the 1/4” mono instrument input. Then, you can connect the amplifier to the 1/4” amplifier output or use the balanced XLR D.I. output for other audio setups. Adjust the 4 - band EQ to get the perfect tone for your instrument. You can boost the sound using the boost footswitch or select different effects like reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, or tremolo. When it comes to power, you can use a 9 - volt battery, but make sure to have a spare as it has a 12 - hour battery life. Or you can use the optional Fishman 910 - R power adapter. To maintain it, keep it in a dry place and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. Clean it gently with a soft cloth. If you experience feedback, try using the phase switch to combat it.
