Description
Acoustic instruments are unforgiving — any noise or impedance mismatch in your signal chain shows up instantly. The Radial PZ-Deluxe solves this by combining a genuinely quiet, high-headroom preamp with a built-in direct box, all in one pedal you can actually fit on a crowded acoustic rig.
- Runs on 15V for extra headroom over typical 9V pedals — cleaner dynamics, less distortion, more natural tone
- Works with any pickup or transducer: piezo, magnetic, active systems — across guitar, upright bass, mandolin, violin, banjo, viola
- Switchable PZB gain stage bumps input impedance to 10 meg-Ohms specifically for piezo pickups, killing the harsh squawk and peak-clipping they’re known for, so you can skip an outboard preamp entirely
- 3-band semi-parametric EQ with sweepable mid, plus a 3-position low-frequency resonance filter for shaping boomy acoustic bodies
- 180° polarity reverse switch to fight feedback caused by acoustic hot spots
- Balanced, low-impedance DI output can run over 100 meters (300 feet) of cable without picking up noise
- Separate mute-switch tuner output for silent on-stage tuning
- Variable power booster with set-and-forget level for solo boosts
Whether you’re plugging a piezo-loaded flat-top straight in, running an active acoustic system, or feeding an upright bass rig, the PZ-Deluxe gives you one compact, road-tough box that sends a clean signal to your stage amp and a balanced feed to the house PA — no extra preamp, no noise, no drama.
