Listen to Warren Haynes talk about his Gibson Signature guitar and how the CAE Sound CB2 Preamp is built in to keep the tone consistent even at low volumes. Watch the video.

  CAE preamps boost and sweeten the sound of your guitar!

CAE preamps enhance the sound quality of your pickups, especially when using stomp box effects or long cables, by buffering the guitar signal before it comes out of your guitar. Available models include the CB1, CB2, and Jangletone II. All three bring back the lost tone gobbled up by your effects.

CB1
Originally designed by John Cutler for Jerry Garcia, CB1 is a true Hi-Fi wideband guitar preamp. It buffers the high impedance output of the guitar pickup and provides the low impedance drive necessary to send the signal to the effects pedal with no tone loss. CB1 is designed to sit between the pickups and the output jack and to be “in circuit” at all times.

CB2
CB2 is the perfect choice when you want to run longer cables with no tone loss, yet still retain the natural clarity and definition of the instrument. Months of development and testing resulted in a product with exquisite tonal characteristics: a nice low end; clear mids with a touch of warmth; upper mids with a great ring quality; and clear, sweet highs. Major players using this product include Warren Haynes, Steve Kimock, Barry Sless.

Jangletone II
Jangletone II is the newest and most exciting addition to our revolutionary line of guitar preamps. This unit provides exceptional clarity and definition to your tone, even when using long cables and effects loops. Jangletone's distortion-free amplification adds warm and sweet acoustic overtones to your signal without adding harshness. And you'll love the 6db of clean, powerful gain. Jangletone II runs on one 9-volt battery.
