A ground-breaking class-A preamp that produces clear smooth highs, soulful mids and bodacious bass combined with an impressive dynamic range of 115 dB will lead your inspiration to new levels.
With a true bandwidth of 1Hz to 20 kHz at +/- 0 dB our state-of-the-art Flagship circuitry provides unprecedented signal fidelity along with exceptional operational convenience. It possesses leading-edge rail-to-rail technology which allows a single 9V alkaline battery to provide you with 1.000+ hours of play time.
This Flagship preamp holds a self-sensing circuitry automatically switching in mono- or stereo-operation respectively by sensing which kind of chord you plugged in. In addition the Flagship preamp offers an ultra-silent operation with a signal-to-noise ratio of -115 dB and a noise floor of just 20 dBµV. Schaller‘s own Flagship gold contact 3-way rotary switch lets you choose from a vast variety of piezo and magnetic switching options and combinations never seen in any preamp before. (Note: The Flagship 3-way rotary switch is for controlling the preamp only. It does not replace the guitar`s 5-way lever or 3-way toggle pickup selector!)
