Good entry level acoustic
Preamp equalizer is very sensitive and hard to find the tone that you like. has a 3 band equalizer a built in tuner and a volume knob. I need to further mix the sound with other pedals to achieve the desire tone that i need. With itself, it is very quacky, like all the rest of piezo pickups.
This is not so entry level, since there's still lower variants below this model. Just when getting a G series takamine, choose the pre-amp. I think there is still a higher model than what is installed in this unit (TP4T). TK or something.
