Make Your Acoustic Guitar Sound Amazing!

It's your sound, but if you want to make your acoustic guitar sound its best, take it from us: you'll get absolutely amazing tone from the RMI Acouswitch IQ DI acoustic guitar preamplifier. Actually, the Acouswitch IQ DI is more than a killer preamp. It's a direct box, equalizer, effects loop controller, and A/B switcher all rolled into one. On the preamp side, the Acouswitch IQ DI gives you a great sounding Lehle LTMZ transformer-driven clean gain stage with the ground lift and pad you'd expect from a quality DI. That feeds the EQ section, which includes high- and low-frequency shelving plus a sweepable midrange. The Acouswitch IQ DI also gives you a body contour control, which allows you to add presence to your sound (without inviting feedback) or to remove the quackiness of your piezo pickups.

When it comes to adding effects and processors to your pedalboard, the RMI Acouswitch IQ DI is remarkably flexible. There's a traditional passive serial effects loop for hooking up compressors and other essential processors. You'll also find a footswitchable active parallel effects loop complete with a blend control that lets you mix as much dry signal back in as you like. Alternatively, you can use the Acouswitch IQ DI's parallel effects loop as line mixer, and if there's nothing plugged into it, you can use it as an adjustable clean boost. A separate tuner output lets you keep your tuner out of the mix, and a dedicated XLR output lets you connect directly to a mixing board recording interface.
