| | | | Idea for new product: GK preamp pedal
With Aguilar, Eden, Hartke and Tech21 (just to name a few) wouldn't be a good idea if GK give us a pedal preamp?
That preamp could have a chain output to drive GK MBP powered cab, an output to drive a power amp and an XLR for FOH. Would be perfect if also phantom powered from XLR.
Will be good addition to my current setup and will also fit perfectly in my gig bag for no-amp gigs.
Is RAG still looking TB posts? |

I really like the GK voicing across all their amp lines (I own a backline 115, but I've test driven most of their current-ish amp lineup), and being able to get that in a light, self contained package would be awesome. |

I use mostly GK amps and I can think of a lot of uses for it, esp as DI back up for gigging.

|  | Junkyard Scout | | Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Dominican Republic | | | I actually have thought about building a 400/800rb pre section pedal with a friend because I like it so much. One of my regular practice spaces I rent has a mesa boogie diesel cab with a gk400rb and with everything set flat I dial in great sounds with all my passive basses real quick. My Ernieballs take more tweaking though.
