Fishman G-II Acoustic Instrument Preamp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The perfect location for the transducer of my instrument yields low volume. Therefore I need a preamp that will boost the signal to match the loudness of my other instruments. This preamp didn't make much difference even when the input pot (on the back of the unit) was all the way to the max. If the job of this device is to merely match impedance, then maybe it's doing its job. I don't know. But if the job of this device is to boost the signal of the transducer, then it should offer a max volume setting that is too loud and we could choose a setting in between that suits us best. But at best it gives a slightly noticeable increase in volume.
This is not a strong amplifier. It is merely a 2-band EQ with a slight loudness increase. It did not do the job for me, so I am giving it the minimum rating.

(More customer reviews)I use the Fishman pro-eq platinum to live performances when I play my nylon classical guitar.Together with an AKG C411 PP contact mic,it gives me an almost perfect nylon guitar sound.I can play bossa and even classical music with the great tone of my best guitar.The resulting sound is amazing.This system I use is far better than any piezo.No comparison.Best regards from Rio-Brazil.
