This Bartolini AGMPBoo kit is a game-changer for bassists using piezo pickups – especially those blending them with magnetic pickups. It cleans up the often-muddy piezo sound and gives you a real boost in headroom without adding coloration. Ideal for acoustic-electric bass players needing a transparent signal boost and improved clarity for stage or recording.

Frequently Asked Questions
It's significantly higher than many basic buffers, ensuring the piezo signal isn't attenuated or altered by the preamp's input.
While optimized for piezo, the magnetic channel input works fine with magnetic pickups, providing a clean, low-noise boost.
It's straightforward – simply use two 9V batteries connected in series, but be sure your wiring is secure to avoid issues.
