UltraPure "Retro" 12-String

By popular demand, K&K have brought back their tried-and-true design of the UltraPure Preamp. The UltraPure "Retro" Preamp is an onboard preamp with soundhole access, an endpin jack, and a Velcro mounted 9-volt battery holder. It offers precisely tuned 3 band EQ (bass, mid, treble) as well as a gain control to fine-tune the sensitivity.

The UltraPure "Retro" 12-String is an active system for acoustic guitar, which combines the preamp with K&K's award-winning Pure 12-String transducer system for 12-string and other heavily braced or topped steel-string acoustic guitars.

Installing the preamp requires no destructive alteration to your instrument. The preamp is mounted inside the guitar at the edge of the soundhole, using a super-strong magnet (that is attached to your guitar with a 3M adhesive tape), giving you convenient access to the volume slider during performance.

EQ and gain trimpots are adjusted with a miniature screwdriver by simply pulling the unit out a bit (remember, it is held in place by a strong magnet). This needs to be done only once to perfectly balance your guitar in respect to the amplification system you are using. The volume slider will be accessible on the soundhole edge all the time.

The Preamp and Pickup come with light-weight RCA connectors to reduce clutter inside the guitar. No soldering is required.
