Small Footprint. Serious Sound. The AP1 Compact 

We’ve had our hands on just about every acoustic preamp out there, and the AP1 Compact immediately earned its place on our shortlist. It delivers the exact same top-tier sound as the original AP1 Acoustic Preamp – one that many of our customers swear by – but in a much smaller, more pedalboard-friendly format.

This pedal focuses on what truly matters to acoustic players:

  • A world-class sounding preamp
  • A dedicated Tuner Out
  • And a transformer-balanced DI Out that your FOH engineer will thank you for.

It runs effortlessly on 9–18VDC, so it’ll slot into your setup without complaints. Whether you’re using piezo pickups or a soundhole mic, the AP1 Compact brings out the natural voice of your guitar—honest, open, and full of character.

And just to be clear: this isn’t a watered-down version. The DI features the same preamp design and custom-built audio transformer as the full-sized AP1. No shortcuts. Just serious sound in a smaller box.

Want to hear it for yourself? Come try it at Max Guitar—where gear meets tone, not compromise.
