After researching similar products found none to have all of the features of the BBE for anywhere near the cost. Very well made and easy to use. Controls all in a nice line and all standard size make it visually simple but also goes well with my other pro gear. Using it with a K&K passive pickup and it's great. The pickup alone will work with most amps but the sound is so much better using the Acoustimax that it is well worth the cost! Which as I said earlier is very good for this type unit. Get one!
The BBE ACOUSTIMAX is very versatile, extremely musical and quiet. And typical of BBE, the build quality would make a Sherman Tank proud. It is eminently dialable and a routing-dream come true.
