The KGB-II is a dual-input high-impedance, discrete audio preamp designed for high-impedance, unbalanced signals including guitar, bass guitar and electronic keyboards. Just as a low-impedance, balanced preamp is a tremendous benefit for your microphones signal, a preamplifier designed for use with unbalanced high-impedance instruments is also a critical component of great sound from a high-impedance sound source.
