# Strikell PreVamp Violin preamplifier for violins

"Does my violin need a preamp?" Perhaps yes and, if so, then specifically this one! Strikell, the Argentinian makers of Strikell electric violins, designed the PreVamp violin as a preamp pedal specifically for electric (or acoustic) violins.

PreVamp features a rugged metal chassis and electronics powered by VZtec. This unit fits right on your pedal board and has numerous features that allow you to dial in fantastic tone in no time.

This preamp is super user friendly for violinists. The EQ points for the 3 frequency bands are carefully selected for minimal overlap, creating seamless EQ curves and offering fool proof blending that won't allow you to spike or duck any part of the range beyond what sounds good.

Runs on single 9-volt battery, or optionally add the D'Addario AC-DC 9-volt power supply.
