This innovative screw thread is designed
to stay in place regardless of variations in
the end block as it expands and contracts
due to humidity and temperature changes.
By eliminating the typical machine thread
and nut, our preamp will never come loose
and require the awkward task of tightening
a nut at the end pin block inside the guitar.
The elegant strap button holds the strap
securely and will never untwist or loosen.
The iP-1 is turned on when a guitar cord
is plugged in and turned off when it is
unplugged, saving the battery.
