BBE is at the forefront of audio technology which allows amplified music to sound more natural, and the latest generation of BBE High Definition Sound technology is a vital element to the new Acoustimax acoustic preamp. In the four years since BBE last offered its award winning 386 acoustic preamp, BBE's design and engineering team studied the serious acoustic player's needs for both recording and sound reinforcement.

The result is Acoustimax, a foot pedal style (or "stomp box style) acoustic preamp which raises the bar for amplified acoustic instrument sound quality. Acoustimax is packed with features including three band, recording console quality EQ with a sweepable mid-range band, low frequency notch filter, phase reversal, ground lift, line level out, dedicated tuner out and TRS effects loop, even a pre/post switchable balanced DI output with pad. Other features include hard wired bypass, non-slip rubber bottom and the included 12v power supply.
