ThINk ACOUSTIC … LIvE ELECTRIC
Your Takamine will hold its own with any acoustic guitar in the room.
Now plug it in and watch lesser guitars raise the white flag. The pickup is unique in acoustic/electric guitars –
actually six pickups embedded in the bridge plate, where the full sound of the guitar comes home.
When the venue is bigger than your living room, your acoustic guitar needs a preamp,
and Takamine has a range of electronics to suit every need and taste.
COOLTUbE – wARM SOUND
The CoolTube preamp is the first
and only on-board tube preamp
for acoustic guitar. It has a warm,
fat sound that makes you wonder,
“Why don’t all acoustic/electric
guitars sound like this?”
The CoolTube gets its name from
Takamine’s unique technology
that runs the 12AU7 dual triode
vacuum tube at very low voltages.
The amount of “Tube Effect” can
be adjusted from bright and brilliant
to fat and warm.
The EQ section utilizes shelving
filters for bass and treble
frequencies, with the midrange shaped
by a
semi-parametric EQ. The
center frequency can be adjusted
with a rotary knob between 200Hz
and 8.5kHz. A built-in chromatic
tuner is standard equipment.
