RECHARGEABLE PREAMPS - NO BATTERIES. NO LIMITS
For over three years, Ortega Guitars has been developing a technology that is changing amplified acoustic performances: rechargeable preamp systems powered by capacitor technology.
Developed, tested, and proven on countless live stages, these systems deliver stable power, consistent tone, and effortless handling – all without disposable batteries.
Stable power, consistent tone, and effortless handling
The MAGUS series offers a full range of solutions for different instruments and playing styles: MAGUS X, MAGUS FLY, MAGUS EXPRESS, and MAGUS PRO / RC – each designed for the demands of acoustic, classical, and stage instruments.
The MAGUS series offers a complete range of solutions for different instruments and playing styles: MAGUS X, MAGUS FLY, MAGUS EXPRESS, and MAGUS PRO / RC – each designed to meet the demands of acoustic, classical, and stage instruments.
Together, they represent a milestone in acoustic amplification, combining reliable electronics with a player-focused design.
Each system features a high-performance capacitor that recharges in minutes via USB-C and provides up to 10–15 hours of playtime with a clean, noise-free signal.
Recharge in minutes and play all night — no batteries required.
The result is a reliable and sustainable power solution that performs night after night.
This is not just a concept – it is a proven standard across our lineup. At Ortega Guitars, we continue to expand this technology across instruments with onboard electronics, setting a new benchmark for modern rechargeable performance.

A Smarter, More Sustainable ALternative
The benefits of our rechargeable technology
Ortega Guitars was one of the first guitar makers to feature rechargeable preamps throughout its range. At the forefront of responsible technology, our aim is to provide our customers with the best possible product.
That's why we incorporated a capacitor battery with an extremely long battery life. 10,000 charging cycles is more than most players will use in their lifetime.
This saves the equivalent of 10,000 9V batteries or 20,000 coin cell batteries from being used.
You'll never need to buy batteries for your guitar again!
It's lightweight, fast and has a long play time — the best of all worlds!
Not only is the built-in, high-performance capacitor battery lighter than a 9V battery block, it also recharges in just 5–10 minutes, giving you up to 10 hours of uninterrupted, noise-free playtime!
Simply plug it in for a few minutes before the gig and you're ready to go!
Since its inception 10 years ago, USB-C has become the proven worldwide standard across all technologies. This includes phones, laptops, cameras, tuners, stompboxes and effect pedals. All of these are now available with USB-C.
That's why we've added USB-C charging to our rechargeable preamps!
Everyone has a USB-C cable at home or on the go. This means you can charge your preamps anytime, anywhere. Whether it's before a gig, during a practice session, or on the go with a power bank, it doesn't matter.
Our MAGUS Pro and MAGUS X are equipped with a built-in tuner to keep you in tune all day. The EQ allows you to adjust Bass, Middle and Treble to perfect your sound!
The Tuner also mutes the output signal, perfect for retuning on stage or for pauses withoout handling noises!
