The Radial Tonebone PZ-Deluxe Acoustic Preamp is the ultimate toolkit for acoustic sound. This is the most powerful acoustic preamplifier put into a pedal, making it perfect for guitars to violins, mandolins to cellos, and anything in between.
More of the sound you want. And less unwanted noise. The Tonebone PZ-Deluxe ensures optimal signal integrity with polarity reverse switch filter controls and ground lift. That means clear sound for all your instruments.
Dial your tone with the powerful 3-band EQ. Whether you need to scoop out the bass or emphasize your mids, the power is right there at your fingertips.
The new standard for plug and play. With the Tonebone PZ-Pre, it’s easy to connect your amp or in-ear monitors with the Amp Out output. Or plug in your tuner via the dedicated buffered output for silent operation on stage. All this and more from a pedal that’s small enough for any setup.
Need a boost? If your acoustic instruments are equipped with a piezo pickup, then you probably do. Thankfully, the PZ-Deluxe is here to help. This powerful preamp gets its superior audio from a class-A PZB booster. The Deluxe’s gain stage can be activated to increase input impedance to 10 meg ohms, eliminating squawk and harshness. That means ultra-quiet signal that’s adaptable to any type of pickup system.
Quickly adjust the volume of your boost for soloing and never worry about knocking your level thanks to the ‘set and forget’ design. This is everything you need for studio-quality sound on stage.
