Incorporating a powerful and versatile Dean Preamp the Performer can easily be connected to amplifiers and PA systems whilst the Peizo pickup located in the sound hole accurately reproduces the natural tone of the Performer. The Preamp system also features a range of built in controls including a 3-band EQ, volume and enhance controls to allow you to shape your tone before the signal even reaches the amplifier. Perfect for quick tone adjustments between songs the Dean Preamp also has a built in tuner with LED display for seamless tuning on the fly as well as the innovative Aphex Aural Exciter and Big Bottom Circuit.
