This guitar piques my interest; noiseless p/u 2 point tremolo, relaxed neck heel. A lot of the features from the elite series for $799. My concern is the preamp circuit. I know you can turn it on and off but my concern is how much boost does it produce and can it be adjusted. My modeling amp doesn't play nice with guitars with active electronics. Any info on the preamp circuit would be most welcome.

Trying to simplify:
The PCB has an S1 switch(/vol pot), which engages or bypasses the PCB.
The PCB has six built-in tone variations ("mild to wild as Fender puts it"), selected by a rotary switch, which replaces the 'normal' T1.
So, in a way, the PCB preamp already does what a modeling amp is supposed to do - when you turn it on.

Trying to predict if you like the end results is impossible, so the only way to find out is testing.

BTW, did you notice the contradiction between this new era wiring and your forum alias? :lol:
