Great little preamp

Joey Bee, 10.02.2021

This preamp is vital for the Schatten HFN player passiv pickup. Together they sound perfect. Highly recommended.

Das teuerste Poti der Welt :-(

Lonesome Wolf, 23.07.2015

Leider sind die Produkte der Fa. Schatten-Design in meiner subjektiven Wahrnehmung nicht wirklich zu empfehlen, vgl. hierzu auch meine Bewertung zum TA RG-3!!!
Obwohl schon Probleme mit dem Kauf des ersten Produktes dieses Herstellers gehabt, entschloss ich mich zu Regelung des vorab genannten TA`s auch noch zum Kauf dieses "Mini Pre Acoustic Preamp" (???). Und was habe ich erworben?

1.) Einen Preamp? NEIN, vielmehr eine ABS-Plastikschachten, ausgestattet mit ABS - Kunststoffgürtelklipp und ein Plastikgehäuse bestückt mit einem simplen Poti (Lautstärkeregelung) und zwei Kunststoff-Klinkenbuchsen (In / Out).

2.) Batteriewechsel sehr umständlich (Back to the 50`s) durch Gehäuse aufschrauben mittels Mini - Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher, der Gehäuserückwand!!! Und, der Hit je grobmotorischer der Anwender ist, um so sicherer werden die doch "sehr kleinen Schräubchen" schnell mal verloren! Braucht man sich aber nicht darüber zu ärgern, überall gibt es preiswert TESA zu kaufen oder in der Tourkiste liegt noch ein Rest Gaffatape!!! - Der Mensch muss sich nur zu helfen wissen, um auch zu späterem Zeitpunkt mit dem Batteriiewechsel im "Schatten Design Mini Pre Acoustic Preamp" praxistaugliche Vorzüge an dem Gerät wieder erkennen zu können.

3.) SCHÖN!!! Vintagemäße Livesounds sind durch erhöhte "Rauschkulisse" des Teils erst live richtig gut wahrzunehmen und erhöhen in seltenen Fällen sogar die persönliche Spielfreude und den "lieber doch Verzicht" auf den Einsatz dieses "Mini Preamp".

Schluss jetzt, mein FAZIT: FINGER WEG!!! TAUGT NIX!!!
