sebby low « A complete preamp and not too expensive! »
Published on 03/11/12 at 07:57Here is an analog preamp proposed by MXR.
It is pedal format, all metal, very sturdy.
It offers a 3-band EQ: Low - Medium - Treble, volume output, a color switch (which allows to choose a rounder sound, a little vintage).
We also have the right to a separate distortion channel, it offers the following setting: volume, blend (proportion of his treatise and his own bass), trigger (choice of frequency, it's like the tone knob on a jazz bass), gain, a noise gate switch.
It also has an XLR direct output (with a phantom switch / ground) for use as a direct box.
We also have a parallel output jack to play on 2 amps if you want.
UTILIZATION
The config is so easy, a jack input and an output.
You switched the channel preamp if you want walking on the metal knob provided for this purpose. This is the same for channel distortion.
It is possible to use the two together, that's what's great!
You turn the knobs to find your sound, it's pretty simple and scalable.
One can find just about any sound you want! We must always look a bit alike.
I have not read the manual ... sorry ...
SOUND QUALITY
The preamp has a touch of "color" but he has great respect for the instruments used. It does not distort the sound of the bass and does not alter the sound of microphones. I use it with my 4 basses and each person in his way.
Again, the key "color" allows her to have a slightly more "vintage", with very low round swollen.
Made by the cons is very different depending on the amp by which one passes and then output or speakers. But then there is the preamp for nothing.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for over a year and a half and I take him everywhere, I can not do without.
I tested quite a few models pedal format, because in Rack you can find things very well, but for me it was put on my pedalboard!
I find nothing to complain about, what I love most ... switch its "color" and the distortion channel! Personally I tested almost every bass distortion pedals on the market regardless of price or other ... and then I no longer use as this one! Properly adjusted, the distortion channel allows everything from very light to very heavy Crunch distortion to extreme metal! RRRRRR
I can not remember the exact price of my purchase, just over 100 Euros for sure. But the competition was in the same price so no regrets!
Format for this preamp I will ever this choice (Robert TRUJILLO Himself is also used). But if it was not to fix on a pedalboard, I saw the little Aguilar DB 924 ... I think I have opted for this one.
