Al Petteway & Amy White      www.alandamy.com
(Renowned Grammy-winning fingerstyle acoustic guitarist')
"I'm blown away. The Radial PZ-Pre is like the holy grail of acoustic guitar preamps. We use them on five very different acoustic instruments and all of them sound completely natural. The PZ-Pre gives us the best amplified sound we've ever gotten."  
Antoine Dufour       www.antoinedufour.com
(amazing fingerstyle guitarist - Candyrat Records recording artist)
"The Radial PZ-Pre is just amazing! It sounds killer and is very convenient and helpful. The EQs are very efficient and musical. This is the very best preamp I found so far!"  
David Morgan www.mixonline.com/livesound/applications/audio_fixit_29/
(FOH engineer - James Taylor, Paul Simon, Stevie Nicks, Bette Midler)
"We are currently using the Radial PZ-Pre with James Taylor's guitars and we are extremely pleased with marriage of the piezo pickups to the PZ Pre. The result is a substantial sonic improvement imparting a rich, natural and open sound. Thanks to Radial for creating this elegant tool."  
Duke Robillard       www.dukerobillard.com
(Roomfull of Blues, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmy Witherspoon, Bob Dylan)
"The Radial PZ-pre is hands down way ahead of it's competitors! The tone and versatility is amazing. The boost section is perfect for solos and the parametric midrange helps dial in the best tone possible. It's truly a masterpiece! The most useful tool for amplifying an acoustic
instrument I know of. The frustration is over!"
Jerry Douglas       www.jerrydouglas.com
(Alison Krauss and Union Station)
"I am really happy with my j48's I replaced all my old direct boxes and found the J48's to have more output and less coloration. My music has never sounded so good!"  
Jim Kelly    http://www.myspace.com/jimkellycontemporaryjazzguitarist
(Australian jazz guitarist, composer and educator - 'The guitarist's guitarist')
"In 2008 I was on the verge of giving up trying to amplify my Australian acoustic made instruments for live gigging. By chance, I read that James Taylor was using a Tonebone PZ-Pre so I figured that this preamp might be the solution to my problems. Boy was I right. This preamp solved every one of the problems for my nylon-string, steel-string and mandocello. I couldn't possibly conceive of doing a gig without it."  
'Smokin' Joe Robinson      www.joerobinson.com
(Amazing young guitarist, has played with Tommy Emmanuell, Jerry Douglass, eith Urban and Brad Paisley)
"Its amazing the difference a DI box makes. The Radial J48 is
definitely the BEST sounding DI I have heard - I wouldn't get on stage without mine. These guys are on to something!!!""
 
John Jorgenson      www.johnjorgenson.com
(multi-platinum selling, Grammy-winning studio and gipsy-jazz guitarist)
"The Radial PZ-Pre has obviously been designed with the working acoustic musician in mind. The sound is only rivaled by the user-friendly features. It is a must have for the acoustic musician serious about tone on stage."  
Jimmy Messina       www.jimmessina.com
(Guitarist/songwriter/producer - Logins & Messina, Poco, Buffalo Springfield)
"I use Radial gear in my studio on a daily basis and I'm here to say, it performs flawlessly!"  
Keb' Mo'       www.kebmo.net
(Grammy-winning roots and blues singer/songwirter/guitarist')
"The Radial PZ-Pre is an absolute life saver for us. I can say in complete honesty that there is no way that we could produce the kind of quality acoustic show that we have been lately without the use of your fine products. It's made life on stage so much simpler."

~ John Schirmer - Keb' Mo' FOH Engineer/Production Manager

"As soon as I tried the Radial PZ-Pre. I was amazed at how warm and musical it sounded. It was clean and present, but not bright. I love the EQ, the mute function and the multiple outputs... all from one pedal! The PZ-Pre delivers my guitar sound like a pickup should".
 
Michel Rivard      
(Iconic Quebec singer-songwriter-performer)
"Since I added the PZ-Pre to my stage set-up, there is plenty to celebrate: I am happier, my guitars are happier, the sound engineers and the audience are also happier! It is a simple and efficient device that delivers the goods; better sonic fidelity and a more natural acoustic tone. It truly works well."  
Paul Richards       www.cgtrio.com
(California Guitar Trio)
"Over the past many years Ihave used a variety of DI boxes. The Radial J48 is without a doubt the best, cleanest and most versatile DI I've ever used."  
Phil Keaggy       www.philkeaggy.com
(acoustic guitar virtuoso)
"I thought Radials only worked on my car, but since my sound man hooked them up to my guitar, I like them even better--Great clear and pure sound!"  
Steve Stevens       www.stevestevens.net
(Billy Idol, 'Top Gun Anthem', Bozzio Levin Stevens)
"As always Radial has done it again. The JDV is a direct box on steroids. Weather i am recording a DI guitar or the high output of an active bass guitar, nothing gets it done as well as my JDV. A totally transparent signal with just the right amount of air...i have grown to trust Radial products like no other company I know"  
Steven Bennett       www.harpguitar.com
(Acoustic musician - 6-string and Harp Guitarist extraordinaire)
"I have never had a richer, more present sound onstage than when using the Radial PZ-Pre. My signature 6-string sounded fantastic and my harp guitar was spectacular. I am absolutely delighted with my sound now. Thanks, Radial"  
Tommy Emmanuel      www.tommyemmanuel.com
(Grmmy-nominated 'Certified Guitar Player')
"I love my Radial J48 direct boxes! They produce a big, fat and clean signal that is so good, they are the ones I use for my live recordings. Thank you Radial!"
