The Gigster

The Gigster preamp is ideal for the gigging musician.  It is battery-powered, with many years of use from its integral battery, and the preamplifier is built into the 1/4” output jack, which is unbalanced and of line level. The output from the Gigster is compatible with stage amplifiers or the ‘line’ input to stage mixing desks or Direct Inject (DI) boxes.

Gigster preamps feature a ‘Tape Trimmer’ adjustment which acts as a bass cut and can be used to eliminate undesired low frequency sounds.

The B1000/8 one Gigster preamp with one 8” Tape, suitable for use with guitar and the other instruments listed above.  Similarly the B1000/3 is one Gigster preamp with one 3” Tape for use with violin and the other instruments listed above.

The B2000/8 is one Gigster preamp with 2 x 8” Tapes, typically used on piano, where only a mono output is required and balanced line output is also not needed.  Similarly the B2000/3 is one Gigster preamp with two 3” Tapes for use with a pair of bongos, or a smaller acoustic keyboard instrument.
