The preamp pictured is the actual preamp you will receive!
The Audio Marketing Group C-Ducer Gigster is a discontinued pre-amplifier designed to optimize the sound of piezo pickups commonly found in acoustic instruments like violins, mandolins, and acoustic electric guitars. Here's what this little box can do for your sound:
Impedance Matching: The C-Ducer Gigster addresses a common challenge with piezo pickups – impedance mismatch. These pickups have a high impedance signal that can be weak and lifeless when plugged directly into an amplifier. The Gigster acts as a buffer, boosting the signal and converting the high impedance to a low impedance output that works better with standard instrument amplifiers and PA systems.
Enhanced Tone: By properly matching impedance, the Gigster can improve the overall tone of your instrument. Expect a clearer, more natural sound with better presence and a reduction in unwanted noise.
Gain Staging: A crucial knob on the Gigster is the gain control. This allows you to fine-tune the level of your instrument's signal, ensuring it reaches the amplifier at an optimal level to avoid clipping or distortion.
Compact and Portable: Powered by a single 9-volt battery, the Gigster is a small and lightweight unit that easily fits in your instrument case or gig bag. Take it anywhere and ensure your piezo-equipped instrument always sounds its best.
Straightforward Operation: With just a single input for your instrument and a standard 1/4" output to connect to your amp, the Gigster is easy to use. No need for complex settings or adjustments – just plug in and play with improved sound quality.
While discontinued, the Audio Marketing Group C-Ducer Gigster was a handy tool for musicians who wanted to get the most out of their piezo pickup-equipped instruments. If you can find a used one, it can be a valuable addition to your acoustic amplification setup.
