***If you were thinking of grabbing a Demeter, Aguilar, Alembic, Trace Elliot V-Type, Ampeg SVP-CL, or any other super nice preamp then you really should give this a chance. This is my favorite preamp I've ever owned but it has to go because I need a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout to gig with around town and I don't have the $$$ to have both.***
Features:-12ax7 and 12au7 preamp tubes
-Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble,
-2 separate outputs w/ volume control for each. Great if you want to run one output to a poweramp and one to a DI or to another poweramp. Versatility!
-All point-to-point wiring and top spec parts.
-Cool Hammond radio chassis w/ leather handle
Including my Igloo Cooler and foam to carry the Samamp Bass Preamp. Your buddies will think you are bringing the beer...you tell them you are bringing the bass!
Sounds like a B-15N preamp. Nice gain structure allows some furriness to appear in your sound past 12 o'clock. It'll do some pretty serious distortion as well. The great places, depending on the bass you use, for a nice round clean tone is 10-11 o'clock. Very B-15ish. The tone controls are passive like the B-15...I think it is called Baxhall type tone controls?
This is a studio giant for a preamp. I've used this on numerous recordings lately and it sounds amazing. Again...like a B-15N or like an A-Designs REDDI w/ tone controls and more gain.
Ask any questions you like! I had Sam's 3rd version of his bass preamp until he came out with the 4th version two months ago and offered to upgrade mine for free. I've owned the box for over one year and there is absolutely no damage...this is my studio tool and going direct tool primarily.
I originally paid $625 for this preamp. I'm offering this super cheap, IMO, so that I can get a smaller gigging amp that I'm looking at.
PRICE: $465 shipped and insured!!!
