With my wedding coming up I don't have the cash to spend on the preamp that I want, so I need something to hold me over until after the honeymoon
Anyways I've been reading about Electronix preamps and for the price they seem to be quiet. My question is which of these two would you go for?
This will be used with a RS1
Electronix BI200 Red Truck Plus:
4.7M ohm input
10k ohm output
1/4" female output, 1/4" female input jack (Input jack acts as a on-off switch)
"Red Truck Plus Bass Guitar Preamp. It is a convenient way to upgrade passive bass guitars to active ones. The main idea behind Red Trucks is to achieve a richer tonal quality and wider frequency response of active bass systems WITHOUT altering your guitar's tonal personality and appearence.
Red Truck Plus has higher gain and warmer sound compared to Red Truck. Additional gain boost makes it possible to be used as a direct input device along with high end and volume loss within those longer than 10 feet cables. It also helps to improve signal quality when it is used with effects pedal chains and can be used as a direct input device to mixers, PAs or even computers"
or
Electronix Pi200 Rocket Plus Acoustic Guitar Pre:
4.7M ohm input
10k ohm output
1/4" female output, 1/4" female input jack (Input jack acts as a on-off switch)
"Pi-200 Acoustic Guitar Buffer Preamp. Just like its sister Rocket lite, Rocket Plus is also designed to improve the "piezo sound" of your acoustic electric guitar as well as giving a clean gain boost. Many guitar players complain about how their sound is very different when they plug their instrument to an amp or mixing console. There is no depth and feel, just an unshaped and harsh "plug-in" sound."
