I was having trouble A/B-ing my Barker and P-bass through my pedalboard. Loved the sound of the Barker PUP, it just was putting out less gain than the P-bass.
A studio engineer friend of mine let me try out a tube pre-amp made by ART called a TUBE M-PRO. The result: Tons of gain, does not color the sound, quiet as a church mouse and easy to use. Doubles as a direct box too. Color me happy.
