Mozztronics AP-1 Acoustic Preamp Pedal

The Mozztronics AP-1 is a handcrafted acoustic preamp and DI pedal built for players who want detailed tone and precise control. Made in Melbourne, this all-analogue preamp is designed specifically for piezo-equipped acoustic guitars and offers tone-shaping tools often missing from factory-installed preamps, with a studio-grade 4-band EQ and transparent signal path that keep your acoustic tone natural and balanced.

The AP-1 features BASS, LO MID, HI MID, and TREBLE controls alongside a 100Hz High Pass Filter to tame boominess and soundboard thump. The GAIN knob sets instrument input level while VOL manages master output, and a toggleable internal switch selects BYPASS or MUTE for the XLR DI out, with an earth LIFT switch for clean, hum-free signal, ideal for acoustic musicians who want no-compromise tone shaping on stage or in the studio.
