Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

well, the main reason i need it is for the volume boost that it provides. i have a low output piezo on my Godin, and the boost is needed. also, it could also use some post-guitar mixing other than the mixing board, so i can get it to what i want it to sound like as opposed to what the mixer (not pro.. enough said) wants it to sound like.

you can also push down frequencies that are hot and causin feedback, etc etc etc... very useful

oh dont be a bitch. a preamp cannot do anything that an amp and a eq pedal can. I didnt know it provided an output boost like shane said, so he helped, you did nothing. you can sigh without posting your sigh
