This all-analog universal instrument preamp features a 17-volt discrete Class A circuit that delivers incredibly accurate tonal detail and low distortion for acoustic guitars, basses, mandolins, and other amplified acoustic instruments.

Product Overview
At the core of the Platinum Pro EQ lies a 17-volt high-headroom discrete Class A preamp utilizing precision, high-speed circuitry that captures every nuance of your instrument's voice with exceptional clarity and minimal distortion. This professional-grade analog design delivers the kind of sonic transparency typically found only in high-end studio equipment, making it equally suited for demanding live performances and critical recording applications. The high-voltage architecture provides ample headroom to handle everything from delicate fingerstyle passages to aggressive percussive techniques without compromising tonal integrity.
The comprehensive 5-band EQ system features classic Fishman tone centers including bass, low-mid, high-mid, treble, and a sweepable mid-frequency control, plus a low-frequency filter for eliminating stage rumble and feedback-prone frequencies. A switchable guitar/bass EQ mode optimizes the frequency response for bass instruments or full-range acoustic instruments, making this preamp truly universal across multiple instrument types. The simple yet effective one-knob soft-knee compressor smooths playing dynamics without sacrificing natural feel, while the precision sweepable notch filter and phase control provide powerful feedback elimination tools for challenging stage environments.
Performance-oriented features include an adjustable volume boost activated by a durable footswitch (up to +12 dB), a fully-chromatic digital tuner with high-contrast display, and a post-EQ effects loop for integrating reverb, delay, or other processors into your signal chain. The balanced XLR DI output includes pre/post EQ switching and ground lift, delivering professional-quality direct injection to mixing consoles or recording interfaces. Housed in a beautiful, road-ready enclosure with premium components throughout, the Platinum Pro EQ is built to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining flawless performance night after night.
