A great item to have if you don't have on board preamps for acouttic instruments

I have a number of guitars with on board pickups but not all of them have on board preamps. I am also still a bit uncertain about adding wires, batteries, cables, and a pre-am unit into the body of some very valuable instruments. I was willing to go so far as to install internal pickups and even drill a 2'' hole for the endpin. This is where the Ashdown Woodsman acoustic preamp is valuable and comes in handy. It is a floor unit with some EQ and sound shaping features that can run on a 9v battery or an external power source and connect to the guitar with a 1/4 jack---either both ends, or one end 1/4 inch and the other XLR to the Pedal. From there a balanced line to the mixer gets the purest acoustic amplification imaginable out to the audience. It also has the circuitry of an indirect box which eliminates the needs for one of those. I love this device and take it with me whenever I tour. Highly recommended and affordable for what it can do. Look at a picture or read the specs---it is easy to understand.

The Ashdown Acoustic Preamp Pedal has a very simple but effective layout utilizing many of the features of the classic Ashdown Acoustic preamp. It includes a notch filter, high and low EQ rotary controls as well as the Ashdown pre-shape feature. There is also a very useful balanced DI out on the back of the pedal allowing the user to run their signal straight into the PA for ease of use and will keep any sound guy happy, no need for a DI box. A must-have for any gigging acoustic player. Can also be used in conjunction with the Power Cube 40 as a complete solo gig solution. The Ashdown Pre Amp pedal can even run two Power Cubes in Stereo!
