This board was distributed to Takamine dealers as a selling tool in the early/mid 2000s to demonstrate the Acoustic DSP, Accuracoustic, CT-4B, and Graph-Ex Takamine SoundChoice preamps. A customer could plug the store's Pro Series Takamine guitar into this unit and switch between preamps. This is a rare beast. I have found only one other SoundChoice demo board mentioned in an on-line posting several years ago on the Takamine Forum. The 2002 & 2004 Takamine sales brochures just briefly mention this system (see pics below). Power is supplied by a 12 volt 1.2 amp wall wart. The wood case measures 17 3/4 wide x 8 1/2 deep x 5" tall with sloping top. Your preamp is supplied its own power via custom inserts that fit into its battery compartment: 3v(AAx2); 9v; 9v; 9v. The openings in the case measure 2 3/8" by 3" and have dedicated input and output plugs for each preamp.The case has two 1/4 inch jacks: one input (from guitar), and one output. Notes Regarding Preamp Installation: This demo board was designed for use with Takamine's SoundChoice preamps "Acoustic DSP", "Accuracoustic", "CT-4B", and "Graph-Ex". The door of each preamp's battery compartment requires a small notch to allow the board's power wire to feed through. The openings in this case are slightly larger than the preamp and require a Takamine docking port or a DIY flange to hold each preamp in place. Switching between preamps is via a series of four push buttons. |
