Description

Headway calls the EDM–1 H.E. an Equalizer/Direct Mini Preamplifier with Harmonic Enhancer. Wow, that's a mouthful. But this handy box packs a lot of nice functionality into its diminuitive (3" x 3.25" by 1.1") footprint.
 
They say: "Multi-function Pre-amplifier with 3 band EQ, Anti-Feedback/hum, Direct Injection, phase reverse, phantom power, FX Loop and Harmonic Enhancer functions for Superior Acoustic Amplification."
 
Includes our exclusive Gollihur Music tipsheet to get the most out of your purchaseI say, it's a nicely crafted preamp with useful features for most any bassist (or acoustic instrumentalist.) Of course, it's got an appropriate input impedance for acoustic pickups - that's a given, if you're finding in on our site. But it has a simple-to-operate low cut filter to reduce boominess, a straightforward 3-band EQ (Bass/Mid/Treble) for easy "dialing in" and a phase reverse, which can sometimes be a useful tool to improve tone/reduce feedback.
 
It includes phantom power for the input, for those of you using a small electret mic (like the K&K Golden Bullet, for which this is an EXCELLENT upgrade to the fuctionality of the standard power box). It also has a built in "Harmonic Enhancer" - which you may or may not find useful, as it generally enhances "sparkle" and clarity in the upper ranges. But it can create a bit of magic in the upper range, which can sometimes be a bit "flat" sounding when using piezo pickups.

It also has a legit DI - you can send to your amp, or use an XLR to send directly to "the house" (XLR adapter included) without needing a separate direct box.

There's even a handy mute switch (with simplistic red light/green light indicators) so you can take a break without worrying about creeping feedback.

It's a very nice, well-voiced, preamp. It comes with several accessories (even a little pleather bag!) and is nicely crafted in the EU.

Transferable 3-Year Warranty:
Some RADIAL products come with a 3-Year Transferable Warranty. This means that if you buy the product and decide to sell it, the warranty can be transferred to the person that buys it, thus providing continuous warranty support and added value. This Transferable Warranty follows the same procedures and limitations outlined in the Standard Warranty.

Warranty Limitation:
As with all typical warranties, only manufacturing defects are covered. Furthermore, parts that are subject to wear and tear such as switches, potentiometers and tubes are not covered under this warranty. This, however, does not mean that these will not be repaired or replaced free of charge. We pride ourselves in supporting the products we sell and will often exchange these parts free of charge pending the age of the device. This decision will be undertaken by RADIAL and in no way obliges the company to perform such tasks.
