Radial Announces the PZ-Pro 2-Channel Acoustic Preamp

Radial Announces the PZ-Pro 2-Channel Acoustic Preamp

A two-channel instrument preamp, DI, and switcher that enables complete control over tone, EQ settings, and effects.

Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada (October 8, 2020) -- Radial Engineering has announced that the newest member of its Acoustic Series line of instrument preamps, the PZ-Pro, is now shipping.

The Radial PZ-Pro is a two-channel instrument preamp, DI, and switcher that enables complete control over tone, EQ settings, and effects. Each channel on the PZ-Pro features a separate equalizer strip complete with a filter section to reduce feedback on stage.

The second channel of the PZ-Pro also features a microphone input to allow any dynamic or condenser microphone to be used, including clip-on instrument mics. Three footswitches provide the ability to toggle between each input channel, activate a built-in booster and an effects loop, or mute the signal for silent tuning on stage.

Radial’s Acoustic Series line includes a range of preamps for acoustic instrumentalists, including the AC-Driver, PZ-Deluxe, PZ-Pre, and now, the PZ-Pro 2-Channel Acoustic Preamp.

ā€œThe new PZ-Pro further expands our Acoustic Series line of preamps, bringing increased tone-shaping and performance capabilities for a wide range of acoustic instrumentalists,ā€ said Jay Porter, product manager for Radial Engineering. ā€œWith the ability to have two discrete tonal settings and characteristics, the PZ-Pro allows players to focus more on their performance and less on adjusting knobs and tones during a show.ā€

The announcement in January 2024 that Two-Rock had acquired Divided by 13 Amplifiers (D13) was big news in the amp world. It was also good news for anyone who’d enjoyed rocking D13’s original, hand-made creations and hoped to see the brand live on. From the start of D13’s operations in the early ’90s, founder and main-man Fred Taccone did things a little differently. He eschewed existing designs, made his amps simple and tone-centric, and kept the company itself simple and small. And if that approach didn’t necessarily make him rich, it did earn him a stellar reputation for top-flight tube amps and boatloads of star endorsements.
