Takamine CTP-1 Cool Tube Acoustic Guitar Preamp

After over two years of research and design time, Takamine has once again demonstrated their leadership in acoustic-electric guitar amplification technology.

The CTP-1 “Cool Tube” preamp introduced at the January 2004 NAMM show in Anaheim, California is the most significant development in “on-board” acoustic signal processing since Takamine presented the Acoustic DSP, the industry’s first on-board “digital” acoustic guitar preamplifier in 1998.

After NAMM, Takamine took their tubes to the test…and hit the streets with Takamine artist John Jorgenson on a media tour. The West Coast leg of the tour included stops at Guitar Player and Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Takamine Product Manager Mike Markure met with the editors from each publication and shared the story and technology behind the Cool Tube. John Jorgenson amazed all once he strummed the guitar and the tube began to sing.

Jorgenson played a large role in the Cool Tube development team. Serving as the Cool Tube’s musical and audio adviser, Jorgenson was also utilized as the “voice” of the preamp. Mike Markure was proud to put the Cool Tube to the test and in the hands of industry pros like Jorgenson. Markure stated, “We put the CTP-1 in front of some of the most critical ears in the business, and the Cool Tube delivered as promised.

Cool Tube Features
Takamine players will find a most useful array of features to enhance their recording or live performance applications:
- A chromatic tuner available at your fingertips keeps the guitar in tune. The tuner is capable of being calibrated from A438, to A445. An LED display reveals the note being played and directs the player with illuminated arrows that show sharp and flat.>
- The EQ section utilizes a shelving, graphic EQ, which can cut or boost bass and treble frequencies. The mid range is shaped using a semi-parametric EQ section comprised of a rotary knob used to choose the mid point of the midrange frequency. The midrange frequency can be cut or boosted with the mid slider. The range of frequency covered by the rotary knob is 200hz to 8.5Khz.
- The tonality of the preamp is further enhanced by the use of the rotary knob labeled “Cool Tube” With this control, the player chooses the depth of effect the tube places on the signal generated by the proven Takamine “Palathetic” pickup. With this knob the player can choose from a high degree of “CUT” for aggressive strumming; expanded “sweetness” and harmonic density with fatter lows and rounder highs; or levels of rewarding richness for finger style players.
- An auxiliary input jack and volume knob, which can control an additional add-on pickup of your choice. This facility can accept a magnetic sound hole pickup, or a soundboard transducer. The AUX control knob is used to blend the add-on signal with the Takamine pickup. A small switch in the back of the preamp can be used to match the varying outputs of different pickups with the preamp. The output volume slider can then control the blended signal. The CTP-1 is powered by 4 AA batteries, which will deliver approximately 24 hours of playing time.
