The Story
The Mozztronics AP-1 is a handcrafted acoustic preamp and DI pedal built for players who demand detailed tone and ultimate control. Made in Melbourne, Australia, this all-analogue preamp is designed specifically for piezo-equipped acoustic guitars and offers a wide range of tone-shaping tools often missing from factory-installed preamps. With a studio-grade 4-band EQ and a transparent signal path, the AP-1 ensures your acoustic tone is always natural, balanced, and ready for the stage or studio.
Tailored for flexibility, the AP-1 features BASS, LO MID, HI MID, and TREBLE controls alongside a 100Hz High Pass Filter to tame boominess or soundboard thumps. The GAIN knob adjusts the instrument input level while the VOL control manages your master output. A toggleable internal switch lets you select either BYPASS or MUTE operation for the XLR DI out, and an earth LIFT switch ensures clean, hum-free signal transmission. Simple to use yet incredibly powerful, the AP-1 is a no-compromise tone tool for acoustic musicians.
