Schatten BB-01 Black Box Plug In Volume Control

      The "Black Box" is a small lightweight passive volume control unit that plugs right into the end pin jack or output jack of your guitar.

     It is designed to work with virtually any acoustic instrument that has a pickup system, but lacks a volume control.

Drill No Holes In Your Guitar

  Housed in a rugged die cast black aluminum box, the Black Box is an almost bullet-proof design. It is extremely rugged.

     The "Black Box" measures only a scant 2" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" in size.

Weight: only 3 ounces.

 

    

 

 
 
   

Added Safety For Your Guitar

     Your strap stays in place on the existing end pin jack. There are no modifications.

     Simply plug the "Black Box" into the output jack of your guitar and plug your guitar cord into the jack on the bottom of the "Black Box".

     The "Black Box" is specifically designed to keep the output jack (and therefore your guitar cord) positioned pointing downward towards the floor. This can help to protect your guitar. Should you step on the guitar cord, the downward pointing plug can disengage from the black box much more readily than it normally could from the end pin jack.

Black Box design notes:

As stated, the Black Box will work with just about any modern pickup system on the market. That being said, some of the older under saddle pickup designs (specifically those that are made up of six small individual crystals in a strip and not fitted with a preamp) do not have sufficient output to be used with any passive volume control and are not recommended for use with the Black Box.

A note about preamps, DI's, mixers, boards: This pickup is designed  to work properly running from our pickup into any normal amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).

Due to design factors inherent in P.A. mixers and boards (and these vary considerably), if you are running straight into a P.A., then a Preamp/ DI will most likely  be necessary to boost line signal strength and lower the impedance so that the mixer receives a proper signal.
