Guitar preamp Prodipe AP22. Preamp for classical and acoustic guitar to assemble. Powerful Simple Efficient For an extremely natural sound. Ultra-high performance and flawless fidelity!

Ultra-high performance and flawless fidelity!

The AP22 system is the result of our close collaboration with leading French luthier Fred KOPO and the highly demanding sound engineer Ludovic LANEN. The combined experience and skills of each have enabled the teams at Prodipe to achieve optimum results, bringing out all the colour, sound and naturalness of your guitar in electro-acoustics.
Composed of 3 cells:

- A braided piezo under the bridge saddle, for a clean, precise sound without being cold and dry,

- combined with two cells under the soundboard that are used to refine and enrich the piezo, to restore the air and woody sound of the body.

Presentation : Simple and effective: one volume, one tone and one blend... Ultra-high-performance, for all the woody colours of the body and an extremely natural sound.

Easy assembly

Tools required :
A drill or screwdriver, a 12mm drill bit, a 2.5mm drill bit, a 10mm open-end spanner, a piece of wire (used rope or similar), F-gasoline, absorbent paper.

Instructions for use & Video tutorial :

1: Remove the strap fastener (if necessary)
2: Drill the splice, taking the strap mount hole as a base, using a 12 mm wood drill bit
3: Check that the hole has the correct diameter by passing the preamp jack through from the outside
4: Set the depth that will define the remaining length on the outside using the dedicated nut
5: Using a wire or similar, bring the preamp into position
6: Fit the washer and then the nut
7: Then tighten reasonably firmly, keeping the preamp straight in the guitar
8: Remove the saddle, then drill a hole 2.5mm in diameter at both ends of the saddle housing at an angle of about 45° coming out. We recommend removing a thickness of about 1.75mm from the saddle to retain your original action
9: Insert the piezzo carefully, making sure that it is not pinched in the holes. Bend the end (treble side) slightly to ensure a good fit in the dedicated hole
10: After cleaning the bonding surfaces of the under-table cells with paper soaked in F-gasoline, remove the protective films and then bond the cells in the required places. Apply firm pressure to the cell and the soundboard on the outer side simultaneously to ensure a good bond.
11: Gluing the preamp controls. Clean the bonding surfaces with petrol F, then remove the protective films before bonding. Apply firm pressure to the controls while holding the table outwards
12: Gluing the battery compartment. Insert the battery into its compartment, connect the battery to the dedicated cable, clean the bonding surface with F petrol and remove the protective film before bonding. Apply firm pressure to the battery
13: Before fitting the cable glands, check their position from the outside. Clean the bonding surface with petrol F, then remove the protective film and bond
14: Press the cables into the cable glands, tightening them on themselves
15: Check that the cells are working properly by lightly tapping the soundboard (on table cells) and the saddle, then tune and play!
