I am selling my Zoom A3, a powerful pre-amp and effects processor that allows guitarists to remodel the authentic tone characteristics of their acoustic instruments on stage while continuing to use pickup systems for amplification. Aimed at acoustic guitars, I used it with my Ukulele with great success and I've read some posts on the internet of it doing some amazing things when used with a DB or EUB.

Can be used as a DI, has both instrument and mic input and runs off batteries so a great option for mobile setups.
