Review: Take Back Control From Your Sound Guys - Wow is all I can say! I plugged this into the snake where the old DI box was, hooked up my Taylor 714CE and finally got the sound I've been working towards for a year now. Previously, I had to turn my on board pre amp volume all the way up, then turn my effects pedal (ZOOM G3) all the way up, plus some boost and still could barely hear myself in my monitor. Even then the sound was always "tinny", with that ugly under-saddle piezo "slap-twang" that I hate. Now I can tailor my Taylor on the fly (I keep the Para Acoustic on my music stand) from a balanced sound across all 6 strings when strumming, to a higher-treble emphasis when doing lead-runs. I can actually hear my Taylor amplified as if it were unplugged. I'm pretty sure a new, non-equalized DI box would probably have helped with the volume issues, but being able to customize the sound is worth the extra expense. Now I'm not a slave to the way the sound guys EQ my guitars. Plus, the effects channel is great for plugging in my electric through my pedal board and thus I can easily switch from the Taylor to my Strat while keeping the acoustic sound unaffected by the Zoom G3. I still have the option of running the effects through the Para Acoustic and using my A/B box to connect either the electric or the acoustic in case I want some delay in the acoustic. Perhaps the "magic" is due the fact that I use the LR Baggs "Anthem" mic plus piezo under saddle combo with the Para Acoustic, but it should work with any pickup system and best of all it's wonderful to have full control of my sound again. Just to compare, I also purchased a Headway EDM-1 mini pre-amp, but it lacks a gain control and the resulting feedback made the sound booth give me ugly looks. It was soon returned to Guitar Center for a refund. Lesson learned: you gotta have a gain control, not just volume. Anyway, if you want the sound you want from your guitar, get a Para Acoustic and finally achieve satisfaction - a rare commodity in this world. Review: Excellent sound - I've used these little brown boxes for 30 years between an acoustic guitar with a Baggs M1 pickup and a PA system. They are fantastic and nothing needs to changed from the original design that Baggs created 50 years ago. ## Features - Adjustable Gain for Both Passive and Active Pickups - 5 Band EQ with Tuneable Notch and Midrange Bands - Phase Inversion for Best Sound and Feedback Control - XLR and 1/4" Outputs - Works with 9V Battery or 48V Phantom Power ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001E95KEC | | Amplifier Type | Solid State | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,882 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #23 in Guitar Pickups & Pickup Covers | | Brand | LR Baggs | | Color | Medium Wash | | Compatible Devices | Acoustic Guitar | | Connector Type | 6.35mm Jack, XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 248 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Steel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00897042002112 | | Item Weight | 0.67 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | L.R.

Baggs DI (1/4" jack), then another cord (1/4" or microphone type chord goes from output to PA. You then have much more tone control at your fingertips to adjust your tone and if need be your volume. **Q: I need a replacement battery door but can’t find parts.** A: Bulgin battery box BX0023 from Mouser, Digikey, or other parts distributors. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take Back Control From Your Sound Guys *by R***S on October 13, 2014* Wow is all I can say!

They are fantastic and nothing needs to changed from the original design that Baggs created 50 years ago. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can help a good sounding guitar sound its best *by S***S on June 18, 2019* I bought one after trying a friend’s unit. Great sound and control with unusual but effective EQ and a phase switch that really helps defeat feedback. Well built and sturdy. Sound guys always seem to dig it. Live or recording, I find it easy to dial in a pleasing acoustic guitar tone with either piezo or under-bridge pickups. And I can fit mine in it’s original box inside the compartment of my guitar case along with a capo, a slide and a handful of picks. Only complaint is that the input level control seems to be quite sensitive to slight adjustments, a minor quibble. It pairs especially well with active pickup systems I have in two guitars that are also LR Baggs products. Runs on phantom power, which saves the battery. ## Frequently Bought Together - LR Baggs Para Acoustic D.I. - Fender Professional Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable 10 ft, Guitar Accessories, Stage Ready with Anti-Kinking Design, Black - Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner Pedal with Bypass --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1986969-para-acoustic-d-i](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1986969-para-acoustic-d-i) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
