LR Baggs Feedback Master Preamp Review
See more picture
Simple to use, clean-sounding device. Baggs's
use of efficient circuit design delivers a clear,
transparent sound. This preamp doesn't color the
sound much.
The screws that attach the belt-clip to the outside
of the case are very short and apt to work lose.
They also, on my unit, caused the device to buzz
because they touched the metal on the inside. Some
kind of grounding problem I guess. My unit may
be defective but I never returned it to Baggs of
called them to ask about it. Instead, I just
removed the screws and have used the unit parked
on a table or on an amp... a lousy solution
admittedly, but at the time I was using this a
lot I was performing on a weekly basis and didn't
want to go without the unit while I returned it
to Baggs. I was pessimistic about the belt-clip
screw buzzing being a fixable issue at the time.
SO - it sounds great. It notch-filters feedback
admirably, but seems to have this design flaw that
made it inconvenient for me to use, even though
I put up with it for a few years.

With TWO unique, surgically narrow fixed depth sweepable filters, the Feedback Master has everything you need to easily control feedback without ruining your sound. The circuitry is 100% analog, pure class A and all discrete for pure sweet sound. The Feedback Master will work with virtually any pickup, active OR passive. The Feedback Master comes with both a belt clip and a microphone stand adapter.Play Louder and sound better.The Feedback MasterTM is the best-sounding and easiest-to-use feedback remedy available for acoustic instruments. It features a phase inversion control and two precise Garrett Null sweepable notch filters to accurately locate and eradicate feedback from top and air resonances without destroying your tone.

These chips are versatile and easy to design with, but the drawback of that versatility is that this circuitry usually includes many extra parts that aren't needed in every application. These extra parts can cloud the sound and add noise. Contrarily, a discrete circuit has o
