must'nt forget to mention this fine old-fashioned-tech british analogue acoustic preamp..
AP10-2 Electro-Acoustic Preamp
"The AP10 concept was initially launched by Award-Session in 1995 and was called the GG10 in Europe, after Gordon Giltrap who adopted the unit as his! He still uses them to this day. However, we have re-named it the AP10, as this was it's better known name in USA when made for MORLEY, the wah & volume pedal company. This is a great tool for live performance, whose range of useful features are unmatched by any other electro-acoustic pre-amp available. A great deal of thought went into designing the AP10 and has been hailed as one of the best ever electro-acoustic preamps."
