Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Several different settings to "warm up" even the coldest sounding piezo pickup. Connected a Shure SM-58 to it and WOW! Three different "subtle" power enhancements make a HUGE difference when recording. Ran it through a small 15watt amplifier and it gave once "tin" sounding projection a clear, crisp brightness without harsh hissing. When recording; be aware that you may need to add a compressor to it. While the warmth and boost to sound is really nice, it clips quite easily.
