Baggs Venue Preamp/DI Review

Acoustic Guitar Magazine reviews the Baggs Venue.

Venue DI Reviews

“Guitarists in bands will especially appreciate the adjustable volume-boost switch. Between the features and the clean sound, the Venue might as well be the only thing you need between your guitar and the sound system.”
Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“The clean boost and feedback controls are simply fantastic; combined with the EQ, gain and volume controls, this could become essential gear for acoustic players everywhere. Those crafty elves at Baggs have done it again!”
Premier Guitar Magazine
“A quality DI is an essential piece of gear for any acoustic guitarist, especially when you’re playing sound-system roulette from gig to gig. But the Venue is so much more than that. If you want to get your sound under your control in any venue, putting a Venue in your gig bag should be your first order of business.”
Musician's Friend
“Banjos are the hardest instrument I have ever tried to amplify. The Venue DI handles the challenge like a champ. Both piezo and magnetic pickups sound great, there is plenty of headroom and EQ flexibility, and the tuner and boost are really nice additions. The fact that I could fit 20 of these things in the space that my old amp used to take up doesn't hurt either!”
Cooper McBean / The Devil Makes Three
“What is great is having the Venue to be able to contour and roll things out. It just has so many more bells and whistles than you can put into a small device inside of the guitar.”
Ricky Skaggs
