Fishman AFX Pro EQ Mini Acoustic Preamp & EQ Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co
The Fishman AFX Pro EQ Mini Acoustic Preamp & EQ Pedal delivers superior sonic architecture derived from Fishman's acclaimed Platinum series in an ultra-compact two-in-one powerhouse designed specifically for acoustic-electric instruments. This professional-grade preamp and equalizer combination optimizes every aspect of your plugged-in acoustic tone, whether you're using active or passive pickup systems. With its powerful 4-band EQ, sweepable low cut control, switchable bypass modes, and phase control for feedback management, the AFX Pro EQ Mini serves performing singer-songwriters, worship musicians, and touring acoustic artists who demand studio-quality tone in a pedalboard-friendly format that fits any rig configuration.
Product Overview
Built on the foundation of Fishman's highly renowned Platinum series preamp technology, the AFX Pro EQ Mini brings professional acoustic signal processing to a compact pedal measuring just 1.9 inches wide by 3.8 inches deep. This digital preamp has been meticulously fine-tuned for acoustic-electric instruments, addressing the unique tonal challenges and frequency characteristics that distinguish acoustic guitars, mandolins, and other amplified acoustic instruments from their electric counterparts. The sophisticated circuitry ensures your instrument's natural voice comes through with exceptional clarity and warmth.
The comprehensive 4-band EQ system provides surgical tone shaping with dedicated controls for Bass, Middle, Treble, and Brilliance, allowing you to sculpt your acoustic sound for any venue or recording environment. The sweepable Low Cut control delivers incredible control over your signal's bass response, eliminating stage rumble, feedback-prone frequencies, and boominess without sacrificing your instrument's fundamental tone. This precision frequency management proves essential when performing in challenging acoustic environments or when dealing with problematic room modes that can compromise your sound.
Versatility extends to bypass operation with both true bypass and buffered bypass modes, ensuring the AFX Pro EQ Mini integrates seamlessly into any pre-existing pedalboard setup. True bypass mode provides transparent signal passing when the pedal is disengaged, while buffered bypass maintains signal integrity over long cable runs and complex pedal chains. Phase control helps combat feedback issues that plague acoustic performers, providing an effective tool for managing problematic frequencies and stage volume challenges. Operating on standard 9V DC power with modest 53mA consumption, this pedal runs efficiently alongside other effects without taxing your power supply.
Ideal For
- Singer-songwriters performing in coffeehouses, theaters, and intimate venues requiring precise tone control
- Worship musicians needing reliable acoustic tone shaping for church services and contemporary worship settings
- Touring acoustic artists demanding professional preamp quality in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format
- Studio recording guitarists seeking studio-grade acoustic signal processing for session work
- Multi-instrumentalists who need versatile tone shaping for various acoustic-electric instruments
Key Features
Platinum Series Preamp Architecture
Based on Fishman's highly acclaimed Platinum series technology, this preamp delivers the superior sonic quality that has made Fishman the industry standard for acoustic-electric signal processing. The digital architecture has been specifically optimized for acoustic instruments, ensuring your natural tone comes through with exceptional clarity, warmth, and dynamic response that rivals high-end studio preamps.
4-Band EQ with Brilliance Control
The comprehensive tone-shaping section features four bands of acoustic-optimized EQ: Bass, Middle, Treble, and Brilliance controls that address the specific frequency ranges critical to acoustic instruments. This extensive EQ capability allows you to sculpt your sound for any musical context, from warm fingerstyle accompaniment to bright, cutting lead lines that project through full band arrangements.
Sweepable Low Cut Filter
The adjustable Low Cut control provides surgical precision for managing your signal's bass response, eliminating stage rumble, feedback-prone low frequencies, and boominess that can muddy your tone in challenging acoustic environments. This continuously variable filter allows you to find the perfect balance between full-bodied low end and clarity, adapting to different venues, instruments, and playing styles.
Dual Bypass Mode Operation
Switchable true bypass and buffered bypass modes ensure seamless integration into any pedalboard configuration. True bypass provides completely transparent signal passing when disengaged, while buffered bypass maintains signal integrity over long cable runs and complex pedal chains, preventing high-frequency loss that can dull your acoustic tone through extended signal paths.
Phase Control and Compact Design
Built-in phase inversion helps combat feedback issues and phase cancellation problems that acoustic performers frequently encounter, while the ultra-compact footprint (1.9" W x 3.8" D x 1.92" H) allows easy integration into crowded pedalboards. This small size belies the professional-grade performance within, making studio-quality acoustic tone processing accessible without sacrificing valuable pedalboard real estate.
