Information

Essential Information About the Radial Tonebone PZ-Pre Preamp
• 2 channels to instantly switch from one acoustic instrument to another, or blend two sources without unplugging.
• Discrete Class A preamp + piezo booster (PZB): plenty of gain reserve, very low noise floor, and excellent adaptation to piezo pickups.
• Comprehensive anti-feedback: notch filter with adjustable frequency, Lo-Cut, phase inverter, and deep notch Q to tame challenging stage situations.
• Built-in pro DI: balanced XLR outputs Pre-EQ (front panel) and Post-EQ (monitors), plus an amp output and a dedicated tuner output with MUTE.

A Radial standard designed as a "studio preamp" in pedal format

The Radial Tonebone PZ-Pre has established itself as a reference among acoustic instrumentalists seeking a simple, robust, and ultra-efficient signal chain: a powerful preamp, a DI, and essential tools to manage feedback. Its philosophy is clear: preserve the natural character of the instrument while offering enough headroom to adapt to any stage, any pickup, and any sound system.

Who is the PZ-Pre for, and in what contexts does it make a difference?

The PZ-Pre is aimed at musicians playing live (orchestra, acoustic stage, folk, bluegrass, pop, rock) who alternate between several instruments: acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, violin, cello, double bass, bouzouki, lute, saz... It is also very suitable for the studio when you want to go direct from the pedalboard to an interface via XLR, while keeping a second "clean" signal before EQ. For modern pedalboards, it serves as a true control center: levels, anti-feedback, solo boost, and DI routing are all footswitch accessible.

Questions frequently asked

Is the Radial PZ-Pre suitable for an acoustic guitar equipped with a passive piezo?

The PZB switch activates a 10 MOhm piezo input and provides a 10 dB boost. This setup is designed to preserve the attack and definition of passive piezo pickups.

How does the PZ-Pre help to reduce feedback on stage?

An adjustable notch filter from 56 Hz to 330 Hz allows attenuation of a problematic frequency by -8 dB or -15 dB. The low cut offers 75 Hz or 220 Hz options, while the phase switch helps to increase the feedback margin.

Can two acoustic instruments be connected to this pedal?

Two unbalanced 6.35 mm jack inputs, Input 1 and Input 2, each have their own level control. The footswitch Toggle 1-2 allows selection of the active input during performance.

What XLR outputs are available for PA or studio use?

Two balanced microphone-level XLR outputs are provided: Pre-EQ and Post-EQ, with an impedance of 600 Ohms. The Pre-EQ output delivers a signal before EQ, while the Post-EQ output carries the pedal’s settings.

Can effects be inserted in the PZ-Pre’s loop?

The Insert Send/Return loop on an unbalanced 6.35 mm jack operates at -10 dB level. Its Send has a 1 kOhm output and the Return has a 15 kOhm input, allowing insertion of a compressor, reverb, delay, or external equalizer.
