Hi Reuben,
having a battery doesn't mean a thing in regards
to preamps, it means
it has an active rather than a passive pickup
But isn't the difference between an active and a passive pickup, that
the active one uses the electrical energy to run a preamp (or an EQ as well)
--> "Active" as in "active signal modifying" ?
But you're right when you said that the preamp of an active pickup isn't
the same than an
external preamp that amplifies up to a line-level for the mixer.
Best regards,
Sebastian

New subject: Very low input from accoustic guitar pickup

But most players will still connect the guitar to the instrument (thus hi-z)
input of their amp, regardless wether its one with active or passive
electronic. So the active ones have to prepare an output signal for hi-z.
Thats why you need DI-boxes or preamps with hi-z for recording direct.
But after I listened to some tubeamps and speaker-combos a friend of mine is
building himself: If you have an electric guitar, you should really
experiment with mic-ing the amp unless you really, really want to record the
plain signal and do it all digitally (by the fabulous CAPS-plugins for
example).
Have fun,
Arnold

Yes, but
actual pickups used in active scheme have much smaller coils
than passive ones.
So active pickup is not a usual passive pickup + preamp.
