So, is there any use for this box with an internally pre-amped UST?


It sounds like a high quality, active DI, like the Countryman and
Radial offerings. It really isn't a preamp, IMHO. If they ever
decide to take that next step, I'd be interested.


Steve, bear with me, I'd like to understand what problem it is that it
doesn't solve since it does the job of interfacing a high impedance source,
be it inductive (magnetic) or a piezo, to a standard impedance balanced mic
or line input.

For me this just started with "Hey, nice to have", but it has led to the
supplementary question: which pickups could/should I consider for a
classical spanish guitar, if any?
