I no longer use this nice and truly underrated pre amp. Its in really nice shape on the front panel, the rack holes have some small rash to them but everything else is still clearly painted/labeled, etc. The top and bottom have your typical scratches from people sliding it in and out of a rack case, but who cares- its racked! Every feature is functional the last time I used it which was about a month ago. This is the predecessor to the BBE BMAX bass pre which is $300, new. Made in the USA.
Has a lot of features but mainly : on board compressor with threshold control, ( can be switched in or out ), Punch button which will take a passive bass and make it almost active in nature, BBE " Process " option with Lo Contour control, Crossover option for bi amping with Balance and Frequency control, Gain and Master volume. XLR out with Ground lift, 1/4" unbalanced output, Effect loop- send/return, etc. I have used this as a straight pre for one cab and I've used it with a two channel power amp to bi amp a 410 and 115 Ampeg cab and it worked really well, especially with the variable crossover and balance. If you crank the Gain, you will get solid state distortion out of it if that's your thing. The compressor works well- can be very subtle or ridiculously even and tight. The BBE effect will be subjective to your tastes, I found it can help you cut through the mix a little better if your particular bass doesn't seem to on its own.
Here is the BBE manual in case you'd like to read up further.

I'm also selling a BBE 482 that I'll make a deal on if someone wants both.
