Does this act as a pre-amp? I use a soundhole pickup in my acoustic guitar direct into my PA. non-powered mixer to powered speakers. Won't work.

Yes, I use the V-tone with a non-powered mixer, power amp, and speakers. Also, I have used it with a Peavey powered mixer and speakers, as well as a regular guitar amp. It works well with all of my guitars. This includes acoustic, electric, and even bass. It will give your electric guitar an acoustic sound qualities. If your mixer has XLR connectors, use them to connect to the V-tone, for a cleaner stronger signal. ...David

I use it between my guitar (either a Taylor T-5 or a Taylor GA-214ce - they both sound really piezo-shrill without it) and a non-powered mixer (either a Behringer or an old Macke 8 channel) which sends to either a pair of powered speakers (Kustom 50 watt) or a power amp (300w Crown) that pushes a larger pair of speakers (JBL 112s). I also use it between my guitar and my acoustic guitar amp. I don't think it will push a powered speaker, but I never thought to try it.

Yes, this is sold as a pre-amplifier. That doesn't mean it will work with your equipment. Every set-up has it's own unique requirements. Make sure the individual components you are already using are actually working. You should take your axe to a brick and mortar store to test the soundhole pickup, if you don't have any other means to ensure it's working as it should. Most places will let you set up to test amplifiers etc., and a good store tech should be able to offer some guidance as to what you need to make your stuff work properly.

The DI box works on the input side of your mixer or amp. Whether you have speakers connected should make no difference.

That's funny, cos in spite of what Mister Turbation has stated, plugging a mic directly into mine works great. I'll plug a mic into a GUITAR amp, cos it sounds better that way for the trashy 60s garage/punk alternative type of stuff we do, and this works on THAT, even. Clean channel only of course...I don't think there's anything that could keep a mic from howling were it plugged into an amp's dirty channel...Now I'm no sound man, so maybe the intended purpose wasn't to plug mics directly in, but I didn't know that. But even pushing my luck with it that way still works.

I own the B-1 and a mixer and a M Audio Interface card so my mics hook into my mixer (phantom power there) if the DEQ doesnt have phantom power get a pre amp that does or a mixer

I don't believe this would be a good thing to try. You could damage your amp/receiver with the higher output of this pre-amplifier. I myself would not attempt this. Your money would be better spent on a new cartridge with a higher millivolt output rating.

No output is good into amp or mixer. Pre-amp would allow additional flexibility with eq and gain adjustments.

I think that it would work if you take off the old one and use this. My guitar does not have a pre amp, just volume and tone so I mounted my pre amp in a box and use it with a patch cord from the guitar.

Take a look at the image of the rear of the mixer. There is a left and right XLR out. Connect these to your amp or directly to your powered speakers.

I ran my outputs through a radio shack 4 line microphone mixer (so I could mix in music from my iPod) and then from the mixer to my receiver. The mixer has volume controls to increase the signal to the receiver. I have had no problem with that setup other than having to avoid too much volume. I assume a preamp would work if you don't want to use a mixer. Hope this helps.

No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input. Very few of the modern ones have a phono input anymore and they need a pre-amp. This is a road-warrior amp, and I have used several of them for different projects over the years. One takes the output from my surround sound unit and powers speaker pairs all over the house. Another goo feature is that the off-on switch stays in the position you leave it and can be used in a switched power outlet of a master amp or anything else you want it to respond to. I keep coming back to this amp and have been very happy with them...especially the price and availability. No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input.

Yes, it requires a separate amplifier (not "pre-amp") to power passive speakers. This mixer only outputs pre-amp level signals that need to go to a power amplifier to increase the signal enough to drive unpowered speakers. You need to feed the output of this mixer into an amplifier, whether that amplifier is standalone that in turn drives speakers, or the amplifiers are built into powered speakers.

Nope. I ran it direct into a PA and it works fine. Obviously you'll need one for wah effects or volume swells, but not for general operation.

I don't play guitar but got a friend to plug his electric guitar into the guitar input of my Pyle-Pro while we connected a mic to another input. Both worked fine. Actually, you can plug in a mic or a guitar into any of the first three inputs (Mic 1/wireless, Mic 2, and Guitar).

I have no idea, it's a mike with jack as seen, yet if you are asking if it needs preamping ... apparently not if your amp already equipped; doesn't seem to require phantom power.

I have never tried it with a mic. I would be hesitent because one of the things that makes this DI/preamp sound good with piezo pickups is its high impedence input. Mics tend to have low impedence output.

This is a great amp made for use with a mixing board for a PA system. With the correct mixing board, you could plug an iPod into the board, then use the amp to power a set of speakers and it would work.

The manual seems to indicate that the sub connects to the preout. It says if you are using a non powered sub, you need to run it through another amp. Long ago when I was using a non powered sub I used an old receiver in line to power the sub. I feel it is best to get a powered sub and let it do the work rather than drawing power from the receiver.
