Description
The Fishman Powerjack solves a classic acoustic wiring headache: how do you go active without hollowing out extra real estate inside the body? Fishman’s answer is an elongated strap-pin jack with a miniature preamp built right into the housing. Drop in a passive piezo pickup and the Powerjack quietly does the buffering and gain work that pickup was missing, pushing out a stronger, more usable signal to your amp or PA without the tone getting thin or noisy along the way.
- Onboard preamp built into an extended endpin jack u2014 no separate preamp module to mount
- Converts a passive piezo pickup to active-style performance
- Runs on a single 9-volt battery, rated for 12,000+ hours of playing time
- Compact footprint keeps installation simple relative to full preamp systems
Because everything lives inside the jack itself, this is a favorite for players and techs who want active output without redesigning the guitar’s internal layout. That said, it’s still an internal electronics job u2014 wiring into the endpin and piezo circuit isn’t a five-minute swap, so professional installation is recommended if you’re not comfortable working inside the guitar body.
An installation manual is available for reference before you commit to the mod.
