hi
want to upgrade the preamp in my thumb BO4.
which aguilar 3-band preamp do i use?

"OBP-3SK/PP: Includes stacked Treble/Bass pot and separate
Mid pot. Mid pot is push/pull for Midrange frequency selection."
This one?

also, which pots do i need, 250k or 500k? whats the difference?

any thumb4 owners out there with an aguilar-3-band setup willing to post their control setups?

Thanks

seems to be 50K pots. Sounds about right for active preamps.

Yep, 50K for the B/M/T controls.

As far as the volume control, you may find these two links helpful:
