Ready for stage and studio Yamahas System 70 TransAcoustic preamp not only provides the ability to plug the guitar into an amplifier but can also amplify the guitar itself. With an actuator installed on the inside of the back panel the piezo pickup transmits the vibrations from the strings to the actuator and then to the body of the guitar and the surrounding air. This generates an authentic reverb and chorus sound inside the guitar amplifying its sound. Its preamp comes with three controls that are designed into the body to minimise the amount of holes in the guitars body reducing the loss of the acoustic sound. A chorus knob and reverb knob provides adjustments to the amount of chorus or reverb the actuator produces with the reverb knob offering a choice between room and hall. The third switch turns the actuator on or off and if the guitar is plugged into an amp then it controls the line outs volume.
