Capturing the essence of an acoustic instrument in a live setting is difficult. A high-quality condenser mic would be ideal, but, depending on the situation, it might not be practical—especially if you’re playing in a band with drums. The Grace FELiX preamp is a feature-packed unit in an absolutely gig-proof housing that can tackle nearly any possible rig setup you throw at it.

During testing, the dual-channel control configuration allowed for a wealth of EQ options with a rather nuanced parametric mid section that was invaluable for dialing out some of the boxiness that might appear with more passive or piezo-style pickups.
