UltraPure “Retro” Edition
By popular demand, we're bringing back our tried-and-true original design of the UltraPure Preamp. The UltraPure “Retro” Preamp is an onboard preamp with soundhole access, an endpin jack, and a Velcro mounted 9-volt battery holder. It offers precisely tuned 3 band EQ for the Pure Pickup (bass, mid, treble) as well as a gain control to fine-tune the sensitivity.
The UltraPure “Retro” System with Pure Pickup is an active system for acoustic guitar. It adds the Pure Pickup with RCA connector to seamlessly integrate the two. Specify Pure Mini, Pure Classic, or Pure 12-String.
Installing the preamp requires no destructive alteration to your instrument. The preamp is mounted inside the guitar at the edge of the soundhole, using a super-strong magnet (that is attached to your guitar with a 3M adhesive tape), giving you convenient access to the volume slider during performance.
EQ and gain trimpots are adjusted with a miniature screwdriver by simply pulling the unit out a bit (remember, it is held in place by a strong magnet). This needs to be done only once to perfectly balance your guitar in respect to the amplification system you are using. The volume slider will be accessible on the soundhole edge all the time.
Connecting the preamp to an existing Pure Pickup requires soldering. The Preamp comes with a light-weight RCA connector to reduce clutter inside the guitar.
The previous design of the UltraPure Preamp (2015-2023) has been discontinued due to ongoing supply issues.
