LR Baggs Venue DI Acoustic Guitar Preamp & Tuner

The LR Baggs Venue DI is the only box most acoustic players need between their guitar and the PA. It folds a studio-grade preamp, a full five-band EQ, a fully isolated DI and a chromatic tuner into one floor pedal — so you can turn up, plug in, and sound like yourself on any stage.

Studio-quality preamp and DI

An all-discrete signal path, high-grade semiconductors and audiophile film capacitors put the Venue DI in the same conversation as the world's best outboard preamps. The fully isolated, transformer-coupled DI sends a clean balanced signal straight to the desk, while adjustable gain handles both passive and active pickups without fuss.

Five-band EQ with sweepable mids

Dial your acoustic in properly with a five-band EQ whose low-mid and high-mid bands are sweepable, so you can hunt down boxy or harsh frequencies and fix them at the source. A variable clean boost adds a footswitchable lift for solos without colouring your tone.

Feedback control that actually works

A dedicated notch filter and a phase-inversion switch let you shut feedback down fast — the difference between fighting your rig and forgetting about it. A four-segment clip meter shows exactly where your gain is sitting so you stay clean even at volume.

Tuner, boost and connections

The built-in full chromatic tuner mutes the output at the tap of a footswitch for silent, accurate tuning between songs. Round the back you get balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs plus a series effects loop with separate send and return jacks. It runs on a 9V battery — with a four-segment battery gauge so you're never caught out — or a DC adapter (sold separately).
