The A-Designs KGB-II is a dual-channel, high-impedance, discrete solid-state instrument preamplifier designed to capture and amplify unbalanced sources—such as electric guitars, bass guitars, and vintage or electronic keyboards—directly into recording interfaces, consoles, or power amps without needing a traditional microphone preamp.Key Features & Specs

  • Design: Dual-channel (dual-mono / stereo) retro-style steel chassis.
  • High Input Impedance: 22-meg-ohm input impedance prevents loading down passive pickups, preserving the natural tone of your instrument.
  • Transformers: Uses high-voltage, discrete op-amps paired with custom CineMag CMOQ-25 balanced output transformers.
  • Controls & Switches:
    • High/Low Gain toggle switch per channel
    • Milled aluminum output level knob per channel
    • Phase flip and XLR Pin 1 ground lift switches
  • Connections:
    • 2 x 1/4" inputs and 2 x 1/4" throughputs (to feed on-stage amps directly)
    • 2 x XLR CineMag transformer-balanced outputs (+4 dB line-level)
