I have owned and gigged with the Radial ToneBone Acoustic for two years now and I think it still fills a niche that no other pedal I've found has. It allows the musicians to run two instruments up a single channel to the PA (either pre or post EQ) with independent mixes. In addition, the pedal has a Boost button you can kick in to fairly dramatically up your volume in the mix.
I almost always play with two instruments - I do this because I play in alternate tunings and its quicker on stage to just drop an instrument and pick up a second. Combine this with the Boost button I discuss above and I can now fairly easily manage both my instrument volumes and allow for volume control between the rocking loud stuff and the quieter finger picked stuff. This pedal was in so many ways made for me!
But, the versatility comes with a price. Compare the sound of this Preamp against its Acoustic competitors, mainly the LR Baggs Para Acoustic D.I.or Fishman Aura Spectrum D.I.models and there is a clear difference in sound quality. This has been very disappointing. After two years, I may finally break down and purchase the Fishman DI I've been lusting after and start counting on the sound-guy to take care of my levels.
