SOLD! Thanks Muthafunk!
Hi Talkbass,
I bought this neat unit from NickyBass a few months ago and I'm realizing that I have too much stuff and this is not getting the love it deserves. I believe it was custom made for NickyBass by ElectroSonic when they were still around, so this is really a unique piece that can't be found anywhere else.
Here are the details of the unit:
1. It serves as a preamp. The signal passes through both a preamp 6SN7 tube and a 6V6 tube. This allows the highly coveted poweramp tone as you increase the gain to get a nice breakup that is quite harmonic. I was using it through my Orange ad200b to get a very similar tone to the isolated Jamerson tracks you can find on youtube.
2. It serves as a practice amp. There is an 8ohm output that can be plugged into a cab. I was using it as a practice amp for a while and I had no trouble hearing it and working with it through a 12" Ampeg cab with my p bass.
It's a wonderfully versatile preamp that could find a home feeding a power amp, thickening up the anemic signals on the modern class d amps or as a practice amp in a bedroom or living room. Here is NickyBass' original post:
FS: ElectroSonic C4. Power tube tone in a preamp.
I'm asking $250US shipped for the unit and I will ship to Canada or the continental USA. I would also be happy to meet someone in or around Toronto. Paypal preferred. Please feel free to pm me with any questions.
Many thanks,
Dale.
