Location: Warren, OH | Is this the "LX" version of the Adamas?
Sure would be nice if they would update their website... |

Location: On the beach in Southwest Florida | Speaking of updating their website...what are the advantages of the OP Pro over the OP50? The OP Pro does not appear to have a notch filter as the OP 40, OP50 & Optima have. |

Location: SoCal | Not meaning to sound as incompetent as I actually am, but I believe that the advantage of the OP Pro is that it is easy to see on stage and easy to use. Fewer controls and ease of use on a guitar is a major plus to most people. If I want to play with my guitar's sound, I'll use an external box. It's one of the reasons I like my 1537 Elite. Volume and tone control knobs (that also look classy) and that's it. If I'm looking to keep things simple, I go straight into the board, if I'm looking for the best sound, I go thru an eq box.
Invariably, the simple life is the best life. |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI. Awesome box. You can run a pickup straight into this...no onboard preamp at all if you wish. I had heard a couple of guys play through these and just had to get one.
Not sure if Al carries these or not. Here's were I got mine.

Location: Warren, OH | That looks handy for applications where you need to plug it into a board with a lo-Z jacks. Too bad that they don't make a belt-mountable version. That would be sweet. Perfect for my 12-String Alvarez Yairi. |

Location: Scotland | Baggs make a few belt-mountable pre's. They're not as sophisticated as the Para-Acoustic DI, but they'e pretty good.

The Boss AD series are excellent, and the new Fishman Aura pedal is very impressive. |
