It seems to be in the same ballpark as the BassBone by Radial but with more EQ flexibility.

I saw it at the Frankfurt Musikmesse and talked with the designer (Mr. Ruppert) for a while. It looks very promising!

Maybe I have some documentation, I should check... Still lots of pedals and info to add...

 

[Smurf-o-Deth]

There's one of these on eBay right now.

Gonna be at NAMM. Unfortunately, I won't ..

It seems to be in the same ballpark as the BassBone by Radial but with more EQ flexibility.

I have been testing a beta version for 2 weeks and I can confirm that its soundquality, SN ratio and switching possibilities are in a whole different league than the Radials.

It has
-2 channels (1 with switchable 10Mohms impendace)
-Channel 2 has a four band eq with 2 semi parametric mid
-one serial loop
-one switchable parallel loop with phase switch, boost/cut and balance.
-switchable/mutable tuner out

It is being built by Lehle and features the LZH DI output trannie and incorporates 2 Lehle Sunday drivers.

Briefly it is THE BEST floor preamp/switching device (drive Tech21 units not considered) available.

It will be available briefly after Winter NAMM 2011.

It's probably the exact same one that's in the TB classifieds right now. Search on "Lehle".

 

[gillento]

Can't find it

Thanks for the update!

FWIW, both the classifieds post and the Ebay listing are now gone. Sold and deleted?

Hello Guys,

It is certainly not sold, I know where all the Beta series are run for tests and BTW the guys do not want to sell them

This being said I am grateful for all info about people who want to take advantage of this prelaunch stadium for making strange offers to serious customers.

Regards

Dear all,

The poor guy who bought this has been cheated. As the owner I repeat, no units out their for sale yet !

Give us a chance

I pull a couple of hundred gigs a year and lots of fly in dates where I'd like to be able to walk off the plane with just my gig bag and a good pre-amp pedal.
I've been looking for a unit like this, but I've been tossing between the Radial, EBS MicroBassII and even the SansAmp.

Need another beta tester?? LOL!!!

Looking forward to checking one out.
(put a nice optical compressor in there ala' Demeter...... )

I tested "mine" with a VTBass (for "furry" pick sounds) and the Maxon CP9+ comp.

It sounds marvellous
