The ToneDEQ boasts end-to-end analog circuitry from preamp to output with digital effects mixed in parallel to maintain signal purity. A low noise 1/4 inch amplifier output and XLR DI output with automatic ground-lifting and selectable pre/post EQ settings are also included. A discrete Fishman Class A preamp with a high impedance input aims to improves performance for any passive instrument pickup, with a 4-band equalizer design allowing tone control for any acoustic instrument with a low cut filter to reduce sub-bass effects.

The Neo-Buster combines Fishman’s Neo-D Single Coil pickup with an integrated sound hole cover that reduces the build-up of energy inside the soundhole that often leads to uncontrollable ‘howling’ during high volume situations. This single coil magnetic soundhole pickup shares the same neodymium magnet structure as the Rare Earth pickup. Its low profile, high impedance design requires no battery and can be installed in most standard acoustic guitars with no alterations.

Fishman’s ToneDEQ will retail at $461.46 (approx. £299) and the Neo-Buster will be $99.95 (approx. £59). For more information, go to www.fishman.com
