BartoliniAGDB/918-2 Adjustable Gain Buffer Preamp for Magnetic Pickups
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Two separately buffered pickup paths give the AGDB/918-2 a practical place in instruments using dual volumes or feeding an EQ preamp. Its adjustable-gain circuit can raise the input by up to 12dB while keeping a flat frequency response, and it isolates pickups from external equipment that might affect their tone. It gives two low-output passive pickups separate boost and isolation. Use 9V or 18V; 18V provides 6dB more headroom with no tonal change.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Separately boosting and isolating two low-output passive pickups before a dual-volume setup.
- Routing two pickup outputs independently into an EQ preamp within the instrument's electronics.
- Turning two low-output passive pickups into an actively buffered pair with separate gain adjustment.
Final check
Know before you order
