AP1 Compact

The Caveman Audio AP1 Compact is a preamp and DI pedal designed specifically for acoustic guitars. Utilizing the same preamp design and custom transformer as its larger counterpart, it provides a Hi-Z input for piezo pickups or internal microphones, along with a transformer-balanced XLR DI output. Musically, the AP1 Compact aims to deliver a clean and high-quality acoustic signal with minimal noise. It also features a Tuner output and a mute function for convenient silent tuning. Built from durable zinc-plated steel, this pedal is optimized for low-voltage operation, accepting 9–18 V DC power, making it a reliable addition to any pedalboard without sacrificing tonal integrity.
