For sale FS: Mike Pope Onboard pre

I am very interested in this. Is this the same one used in Foderas?

-Andy

It's very similar but not the same. I can make it pretty much like the LAST version of the Fodera preamp, but the current version is totally exclusive and can only be bought through Fodera. They will sell you one, though.

I wonder if i can make a trip and go to radio shack and reverse engineer this myself. i dont want to know how much the fodera one costs....

Good lord man, you've got The Pope himself bumping your thread

Yup, its the real deal.

The Fodera preamp is not that expensive, actually. Or I could build you one to suit you. Or you could buy this one and have me set it up the way you want it. But don't bother reverse engineering it. Sounds like a fun project, but the time it takes isn't worth it. By the time you draw the schematic, find all the parts (some of which are custom and you'd have to buy from me anyway...and almost none of which you can buy at RS), build it, troubleshoot it...even at $15.00 an hour you'll never make it worth it. If you're a trained EE and you make $100.00 per hour or more, forget it. Just buy one. You can always get more money, but time is gone forever once you've used it.

Lol.....I know. I was kidding. I am really tempted to buy this. Is it very hard to wire? I have no background in electronics whatsoever.

-Andy

Now another stupid question. I am currently building my own bass and if I had this pre-amp installed, would I also need one of your MPP1 external preamps as well?

You wouldn't need it, but you should buy it anyway.

Ok cool.

Right on, Dave!

It's not hard to wire. Let me know if you buy it and I'll send you an installation diagram.

Mike - any links that could help me understand what sound to expect from your pre?

Bump

Mostly just pops and clicks

Seriously, I don't know. Dig around on TB here. I think there's some stuff. Thing is, they're mostly custom, so they all sound a little different.

Sold!
