Radial ToneBone PZ-DELUXE | Combination Instrument Preamplifier and Direct Injection Box

The Radial ToneBone PZ-DELUXE is a premium combination instrument preamplifier and direct injection box that caters to the needs of musicians who demand studio-quality sound on the live stage. Designed with low-noise technology and a versatile feature set, this compact pedal suits a variety of instruments including acoustic guitars, upright basses, mandolins, and violins. Whether you are performing live or recording in a studio, the PZ-DELUXE is engineered to deliver unparalleled sound performance.

One standout feature of the PZ-DELUXE is its adaptive capability to various pickup systems. Thanks to a unique PZB gain stage, the input impedance can be elevated to 10 meg-Ohms, effectively eliminating squawk and explosive peaks often found in other systems. This removes the necessity for a separate preamp, making it particularly ideal for musicians unwilling to modify their vintage instruments. The well-organized control panel includes input gain, a 3-band semi-parametric EQ, a three-position low-frequency resonance filter, and 180-degree polarity reverse switches, all designed to provide maximum control over your sound.

Furthermore, the Radial ToneBone PZ-DELUXE offers seamless connectivity with a guitar-level output for stage amps and a built-in Radial direct box that supplies a balanced low-impedance output to drive PA systems. With the capability to manage cable runs up to 100 meters without noise, this unit is perfect for large venues. The pedal also includes a separate tuner output and a variable power booster with a 'set-and-forget' level control, ensuring that your solos cut through the mix effortlessly. Compact, durable, and easy to use, the Radial PZ-DELUXE is the ultimate tool for musicians looking for studio-quality audio in a live setting.
