Designed as a preamp for piezo and magnetic pickups, it also can be used for any other pre-amplification purposes. This very clean circuit has gain, active (+/- 20dB) bass and treble controls, an internal gain trim pot for 1x to 10x preamplification. Less than 15 ounces with battery.

K&K Sound preamps are full-range, and suitable for use with any pickup. Due to their 1 megohm input impedance, they are ideal for piezo-based and magnetic pickups. Yup, I've been known to use my Pure Preamp with my old '71 Fender Precision fretless bass, for that "active" sound without making nasty new holes in that sweet old bass.

All K&K Preamps have the same basic specifications:

Frequency range 10 - 30,000 Hz
Input Impedance: 1 Mega Ohm
Output Impedance: 3 K Ohm
Average Current: 3.5 mA

Do you need a preamp?
You may or may not, but it's good to know if there is a technical and/or practical reason for having one for your pickup. Click on the FAQ link below "Do You NEED a Preamp..." that discusses impedance matching and using piezo pickups with "normal" amplifiers.
