Guitar Effects Pedal Radial PZ-Deluxe (di-box for acoustic instruments)

The Radial PZ-Deluxe is a versatile preamplifier for acoustic instruments that combines studio quality sound with stage performance. Equipped with a Class A hybrid FET stage, it delivers a clean, transparent signal with a wide dynamic range and minimal distortion.

With a three-band EQ with low-pass filter, you can easily customize the sound of your instrument to suit your specific playing environment. A 180° polarity switch helps to eliminate acoustic feedback, which is especially useful for stage use.

For instruments with piezo pickups, a PZB switch is provided to increase the input impedance to 10 megohms, eliminating the harshness and sterility of such pickups.

The PZ-Deluxe is also equipped with a professional DI output with a balanced XLR connector, which allows for lossless signal transmission over a distance of more than 100 meters. Two footswitches provide additional control:

• Mute - to quickly mute the sound when setting up or changing instruments
• Boost - for instantly increasing the signal level during solos or emphasizing individual parts

The device is powered by a 15V 400 mA adapter (center pin is positive), which ensures stable operation even during intensive use.
