Selling my LowEnd True-Voice preamp. This is the desktop version. Comes with four tubes as well as a hard plastic case.
Very simple control layout: single input, Vol, passive “tonal balance” tone control, active/passive switch, bright switch, mute switch. Around back are two ¼” outputs, balance DI out with ground lift plus headphone jack (which was an extra charge from Brian).
The LowEnd True-Voice preamp uses 6SN7 or 6SL7 Tube for more dynamics with a larger tonal range than the standard 12AX7 produces that most others use.
The features of the True-Voice on the Front are;
- 1/4 input
- Master Volume
- Tonal Balance
- Mute switch (mounted on front of the unit)
- Bright switch (mounted on top/ of the unit)
On the back you will find;
- (2) 1/4 outputs
- DI with ground lift
-headphone jack

The design behind the LowEnd True-Voice preamp was to allow your instrument’s voice to speak with out added eq. Preamps today color the signal as soon as it enters the unit. Even when a preamp is set flat, you never hear your true instruments voice. I have heard over the years players talk about the live signal to the soundboard when recording sounded so good and how they wish they could achieve it live. After years of not using preamps at The LowEnd bass shop and running guys straight into power amps and then into wonderful bass cabinets we have always offered. Many guys would find out that the bass they had not been happy with, wasn’t the bass at all. But the rack or cab setup. For years I've stripped down everything as far as I can so that the customer can have a foundation to build on with his/her bass and knowing its True-Voice with out being forced into a particular brand of cabinet and head combo.
The Low End True-Voice Preamp is point to point wiring. This preamp with out a doubt will change people’s views on a high quality preamp, which demonstrates the purity and quality of the instrument, and gives even more control to the player!
We are using a 6SN7 Tube for more dynamics and tonal range then the standard 12AX7 produces most others use. The features of the True-Voice on the Front are 1/4 input, Master Volume and Tonal Balance. There is a Mute and Bright switch mounted on top/front of the unit. On the back you will find dual 1/4 outputs and a DI. This might be the truest Tube DI on the market with all point to point wiring and no circuit board what so ever!
Very well cared for….excellent condition. Comes with a custom foam-lined hard case (with room for an extra tube) and comes with the following tubes (that I had gotten from Brian@The Low End):
GE 6SN7 GT
GE JAN CG 6SN7GT
RCA 6SN7 GTB
Westinghouse 6SN7 GT
All tubes are in good condition.
