the only question i have is how would you hook it up to bi-amp it? or did you just run it straight through?

The way that the Fender TBP-1 preamp is designed, it makes bi-amping a breeze. When bi-amping, you use the "active crossover" section of the back panel. It has two output jacks: one for the low frequencies and one for the high freqs. Located between those two output jacks is a balance knob that you can turn to adjust the crossover frequency.

Of course, to bi-amp, you will need *two* power amps. If you plan to do that, I suggest using the MB1200 power amp for the low freqs due to its enormous power. You could use a lower wattage amp for the higher freqs.

And then, to bi-amp, you will also need two sets of speakers: one for the lower freqs, and one for the higher freqs.

What's nice about the TBP-1 preamp is, you don't *have* to bi-amp if you don't want to (it has a full range output), but if you wanna bi-amp, it makes it so easy. And having the knob to adjust the crossover frequency makes it really nice.
