Fire-Eye Red-Eye Acoustic Preamp with Boost and DI Out

---

An Austin, TX Original!

The Red-Eye Instrument Preamp offers a simple, one-box, direct-connect solution to musicians playing instruments with high-impedance piezoelectric pickups…for example, the L.R. Baggs violin bridge pickup. Any passive instrument pickup is supported.

The Red-Eye Preamp’s high input-impedance allows piezoelectric pickups to operate essentially unloaded, which results in a smooth, natural, acoustic instrument tone. Low distortion, low noise, and generous headroom mean clear tone comes through even when an instrument is played percussively and loudly.

The Red-Eye Preamp also works well with instruments that have magnetic pickups, such as electric guitars and electric basses.
