Hi

I'm looking for a pedal (or similar) format preamp for acoustic guitar

The guitar is a Gibson J-45, the pick up is a " Element Active Acoustic Pickup System from L.R. Baggs" which has an onboard active preamp, but no controls other than volume.

So what I want is:

Something good, without being crazy boutique expensive.
Something with basic tone controls
Feedback battling options, like a notch filter and phase switch.
Optional are: a mute switch, and a DI

So what would people recommend?

thanks
matt
