As you may or may not know...

Since the early 70's KAMAN Music was the sole distributer of Takamine guitars in the U.S.A.

Recently ESP Guitars and Takamine Guitars announced a partnership in which Takamine

instruments will be distributed exclusively exclusively through ESP Guitars in the U.S.A.

Because of this new chapter in American Takamine history some printed materials have yet to

be revised for the new ESP distributorship. For this reason, this sale is for preamp only, it does

not come with glamour box. Your CT-4BII PreAmp will be sent very carefully and safely packaged.

~

Chances are if you are looking at this then your Takamine preamp needs to be replaced or

you desire a different tonality and function from your Takamine guitars electronics.

This preamp is designed for use in Takamine brand guitars only!

The PreAmp DOES NOT come with a mounting chassis.

The PreAmp Mounting Chassis is installed at the Takamine factory during

the guitar manufacturing process; if your guitar does not currently have a Mounting Chassis

installed please do not order this PreAmp as you will have no way to insert it into the guitar.

~

Here is a PARTIAL list of Takamine preamps whose mounting chassis will accept the CT4BII:

AccurAcoustic, CTP-1, CTP-2, CTP-3, CT4B, CT-4BII, CT4-DX, DSP, Graph Ex, TK-40,

TK-40B, TK-40D, TP-4, TP-4T, TP-4TP, TP-E, Parametric Equalizer, Takamine Equalizer (N4B)

These preamps are 2 7/16^th x 2 13/16^th If your current preamp is not this size it will not fit.

~

Older Takamine preamps TV3N, TK4NT, TS-1, TS-2, PT007S, etc.

are a different size and shape than the CT4BII and are located in a different location

on the guitars side; the mounting chassis of these preamps WILL NOT accommodate the CT4BII preamp.

For those of you installing this pre-amp into your "G" series Takamine, you will have to modify the end of your pickup lead

to a RCA male style jack. These High Quality Gold Plated RCA jacks are available for $8.95 if you need one.

A custom made adapter is available for $29.95 this adapter simply plugs in and requires no modification to the guitar.

If you need one of these items notify me before purchasing so it can be included in the shipment - I ship very quickly!

This preamp is covered by the Takamine Electronics Warranty.

          CT-4BII Preamp Features:

The CT4B II preamp is designed for ease of use and purity of tone. The CT4B II consists of 3 bands of graphic EQ tone control, a volume control slider and a built-in chromatic tuner.




The 3 band EQ provides control over the bass (LOW), midrange (MID) and treble (HIGH) frequency response. With the sliders set at the midpoint (0) the electric signal from the guitar is evenly balanced across the frequency range. The desired tone is then dialed in by using the sliders to add or subtract frequency response as desired. Each frequency control slider will raise or lower the band response by +/-5db.




The volume slider adjusts the output volume of the preamp.




The convenient built-in chromatic tuner is extremely accurate and very easy to use. The tuner is activated by pressing the TUNER POWER button. To tune your instrument, simply pluck any open string. The tuner will then display the name of the note that has the closest frequency of the string played. The amount of deviation from the note (higher or lower) is displayed by red arrows indicating sharp or flat. When only the green center light illuminates, the note indicated in red has reached precise tuning. When the guitar is unplugged, the TUNER POWER switch acts as on and off.




Your CT4B II tuner is also capable of being calibrated to frequencies other than standard A440. When the PITCH button is pressed, the frequency that is currently set will be shown by a flashing red light above the frequency number. While the reference light is flashing, press the Pitch repeatedly to set the desired reference pitch. With each press of the button, the reference pitch will increase by 1Hz increments from 440Hz to 445Hz. Once the pitch has reached 445Hz, the next press will decrease the pitch to 438Hz. When the button operation is stopped, the reference pitch is set and the tuner will stand by for tuning.




To facilitate silent on-stage tuning, the TUNER POWER button also acts as a mute switch when the guitar is played amplified. If you wish to be able to tune with your signal amplified, simply press the TUNER POWER a second time. Press a third time to shut off the tuner function. The tuner will shut off automatically when there is no signal for a couple of minutes.

The Takamine CT-4BII preamp features a gain knob, an active shelving system EQ with bass, middle, and treble frequency slider controls, and a low battery light which activates when the battery drains below a certain voltage.




The CT-4BII preamp is switched on by plugging a standard mono instrument cable into the endpin/strap pin jack. Unplugging the cable switches the preamplifier off.




The CT-4BII Preamp is powered by a single 9 volt battery.




Preamp measures: 2 13/16th x 2 3/8th
