LR Baggs SESSION DI Acoustic Guitar Preamp

Session DI Inspired by the LR Baggs Handcrafted Video Sessions and our experience in some of Nashvilles great studios, the Session Acoustic DI brings our signature studio sound to your live rig. The Session DI enhances your acoustic pickup and imparts the rich sonic character that youd expect from an experienced audio engineer using some of the worlds finest studio gear. Weve captured this studio magic and put it into a compact, easy-to-use DI that will transform your live sound. Studio Tools for the Stage ANALOG SATURATION Often used by studio engineers in post-production, saturation adds warmth, dimension, and pleasing harmonics while smoothing the signal for an enhanced mix. The Session DIs proprietary saturation is voiced specifically for the acoustic guitar and transports studio analog warmth and inspiring playability to the stage. COMPRESSION EQ Unlike standard compression that can squash the entire range of your signal, the Session DIs Comp EQ features 3 narrowly focused bands of compression that tame common problematic frequencies and uncover the voice of your guitar. The low, mid, and high frequency compressors are essentially touch-sensitive EQs that respond in real-time to your dynamics. The harder you strum, the more they compress and vice versa.
