During his gigs as American Idol guitarist, Brady often plays a Traugott guitar. He enjoyed the sound but found himself dissatisfied when it was amplification. "It's always been a challenge for me to find a way to properly amplify acoustic guitars. I always felt terrible simply plugging those guitars into a standard DI box because they would never do them justice." On Idol this year Brady added the Radial PZ Deluxe Acoustic Preamp to his set up.
" The PZ Deluxe is the first piece of gear I've used that really adds a warmth to the tone while still maintaining the clarity and pristine quality of his acoustics."
Brady's commitment with American Idol also extends to off season work. With his Traugott guitar and PZ Deluxe in hand, Brady will be touring with the show this summer playing 40 shows within two months.
