Hey Shane, have you tried running piezo/mags through this?<br />
I had the same idea, using a different brand preamp from amazon, but I wanted to use a Rail-Runner piezo and a Wickedbucker from cbgitty on my next build and I was wondering how it would sound through the preamp.

<p>A question, can the piezo pickup be used in a Tin Can Mic? Or do I go with this Tin Can into Pre-Amp then Cigar Box Amp? I'm curious, I play Blues Harp, and been through Blues Jr's, Carvin, Honeytone and others! Thanks!</p>

<p>This is a great thing to have for all your guitars to run through for a simple EQ and Boost. Would be a good idea to install a Psycho Knob in there and maybe a spring reverb tank. </p>

<p>Can't one of these be used with a regular guitar for EQ and volume boost ? The later would come in handy for small low output amps.</p>
<p>I had a Black Ice chip from Stewmac that I placed in a tin on a 2-way switch and a 250k volume pot. Gives a slight volume boost to my little Ruby amp.</p>
