Location: Northwest Arkansas | I have literally played guitars with every OP-*** pop-in preamp. I've come to a conclusion. Its the OP-Pro. It makes every guitar I own sound better. There are 6 more I have that aren't listed. The battery lasts longer in it than any other preamp I have. It also has a very balanced sound when it's EQ'd flat. So I bought another one Saturday morning. What's your favorite and why? I was going to say pop-in, but there are a lot of others, FET, OP24... |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I like the OP-30.  It has the Pre-shape and EQ in/out.
I also like the OP-24+ for the same reasons, but it don't have a tuna.

Location: Miami | +1 on the OP-PRO. OP-30 sounds thin by comparison in the same model, and the VIP and OP-PRO Studio caused a lot more feedback in two different PA's I tried, and neither had the same trademark tone as the OP-PRO. (Can't speak for studio work, I'm talking about amplified through a PA only). (And of course, YMMV.)

With Bobbo and Dave. Optima has the best sound to my ears, but I never use the tuner on it, I use the Snark instead. |

In all seriousness, it's my favorite too. I have them in my Al DiMeola, and Book Elite. I also liked the OP50 (after Optima, and prior to the OpPro), but I no longer own a guitar with one of those. The OpPro is awesome too. |

Contact Al at Lost Art Vintage Guitars. He was able to order one NIB for my 2078TX.
