Welcome to The Real Deal

Thank you for entering the realm of Pigtronix.

Bob Weir’s Real Deal pedal is an acoustic preamp. This pedal is capable of re-structuring the sonic characteristics of an acoustic guitar, producing a rich sound for any scenario.

The Real Deal pedal has two primary input channels, one for a microphone, and another for a guitar’s piezoelectric pickup. The microphone channel goes through a high pass filter, and the pickup through a low pass filter. These filters then meet at the same crossover frequency effectively giving you all the high end of the microphone and all the low end of the pickup.

Each channel has a volume control before each filter, as well as full control over their relative phase and crossover frequency. The internal +48V Phantom Power allows for the use of both dynamic and condenser microphones, however the Real Deal can be used without a microphone as well. With the DUAL SOURCE mode turned off, the Real Deal can be used with just a single pickup, splitting the input signal to both channels. Bob Weir’s Real Deal effectively provides full dynamic and harmonic control over your acoustic guitar, with or without a microphone.

In keeping with Pigtronix tradition, the controls on the Real Deal have been tuned to provide the cleanest acoustic tone and an adept range of musical possibilities. The Real Deal is based off a studio technique that Bob Weir commonly used to mic acoustic guitar and is an idea that he came to us with. In a collaboration between Bob Weir and Pigtronix we are happy to bring you Bob Weir’s Real Deal Acoustic Preamp.

We hope that the Real Deal will provide you with years of creative satisfaction.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
