Pope/Fodera Preamp now selling?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi,

I saw an ad on TB about the Pope/Fodera internal preamp, but when I clicked the link I couldn't find it anywhere on Pope's website. Any info?

Not for me.... could be my settings (although never had trouble before). If you see it, I guess it's me.

The link is not working correctly right now.
Preamp will debut at NAMM, available for installation there.
For sale after NAMM, stay tuned for more info!

Yes, it is the internal preamp for Fodera that we're releasing at NAMM.

As far as I know it's available, but the website hasn't been updated.
I think the best idea is to sent Mike an email.

The link here: http://fodera.com/new_preamp.html points you back at Michael Pope's website.

Guys. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to use this forum to "sell" these, but anyone with any question should simply contact me through either of my websites or PM me. The new Fodera preamp IS available at this point. The guy who was handling the web stuff just got really sick and wasn't able to finish the links, etc.

Can it be purchased?

The old preamp had to be installed at the fodera shop. Can I order this and install it myself?

Yes. True. Yes. Very old basses with original preamps (pre-97 or so) might be more complicated but you could still do it.

Fodera onboard

Thanx Mike.

I will drop you a mail with an order in the near future. By the way, the two custom onboard preamps you made for me is working great for me. I still have two Emperor basses I would like to upgrade. One with Haz-lab 3-band, and one with Pope 1.0 pre.

All the best from Roger.

I've got the new preamp coming for my Imperial....and will give some feedack once I've had a chance to put it through some trials. I heard the prototype in Pope's bass a while back, and was very impressed...looking forward to it!

Aloha, Garey

Aloha Garey,
I played several basses with the new internal pre-amp out at NAMM and it was very nice. I think you will be real happy.
peace
Guy

Fodera Onboard

Is there anybody out there that have tried or have it installed that can explain what the differences are between the former and the new pre? Or have any sound clips?
