Members 54merk Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 Isn't this model more than 20 years old? I have an old BB preamp, not sure which model, but it's vintage late 70's. Very simple with only a few controls. It works just fine to boost the signal of any piezo pickup, but the modern pre-amps available these days like a Baggs Para di sound far better. Then there's the Fishman Aura which simulates a microphone, but these will cost a lot more than an old BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doug osborne Posted October 19, 2005 Members Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have one of these at home. Yes, it does not sound great. There are many piezo-pickup preamps that sound better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
