Hey all,

Make a reasonable offer. I would like to sell this to get a pedal that's for sale here.

I am looking for a sale; need the cash, UNLESS YOU HAVE a Radial Tonebone OD; that will be my only trade needs at the moment.

Up for sale is a great pre-amp pedal. It's a clone of the famed Pearce BC1 rack preamp: it was made in Dunedin, FL October 2014. I am the third owner; I got it here on TB last January and really enjoyed using it. Having switched to a smaller board I've been using it (with a big smile) for practicing at home. The original owner put dots for settings.

(On the pictures, those weird markings on the face of the trim pots are triangles I drew with a Sharpie so you can see where you are through the holes at the bottom...photo added. I hope no one thinks that's scorch marks or something LOL) All pots and switches work flawlessly. No noise. OEM power supply included.

It has a beautiful clean sound and the drive channel goes from kinda wild to insane. It's currently an integral part of John Myung's signal chain. Internal trim pots control the drive eq. I am selling for less than half price new for 2 reasons.

1: It's the older version 2, there's a newer final version out, and
2: the internal switch that switches the 2nd drive channel from a clean boost to an overdrive is broken and stuck on overdrive ( I tried to capture it in the images below), which was fine with me since I got the pedal to have that Billy Sheehan snarl. This thing destroys the EBS Billy Sheehan signature pedal. Handy FX loop. I do wish there was a D.I. and speaker sim though. Handy limiter.
I am currently using a smaller board than ever before, and loving it...a Metro 20 that fits in my suitcase (also pictured below). I had planned to keep this for my big Blackbird board but I think I'm not going back to that. I just usually don't get the floor-space at most of my gigs and I get funny looks for fill-ins LOL.

I will ship out next business day, USPS Priority insured 2 day. Price is for CONUSA only.
All others please hit me up in a message. Same with trade offers please.

This is a real sleeper guys. I love mine. Even with the broken swiotch (which Is where mine is always set anyways) this is a great preamp.

Cuts right through the mix clean or OD.

Bump for a great pedal!

Three's company LOL! I know...nice try. This this should be in every hard rock and metal bassist's board. Without the boost channel on it's an amazing sounding pre. Fat, warm and very clean.

I also picked up the other 2 preamps. Amazing stuff.

Someone is going to love this!
