    yes, that's exactly what I mean - a "universal" preamp means "clean," "transparent," etc.

    most universal preamp?

    Hello bass friends, When I played regularly in a heavy progressive metal band I used a Darkglass B7K preamp, and it worked very well in combination with a 5-string active bass and an Ampeg SVT-3 pro amp.

    Do you use a compressor live?
