Acoustimax

In the years since BBE last offered its award-winning 386 acoustic preamp, BBE’s design and engineering teams studied the recording and sound reinforcement needs of serious acoustic players. The result is the all-analog Acoustimax, a stompbox-style acoustic preamp which raises the bar for amplified acoustic instrument sound quality.
