Double Bass Headway Preamp Experience

Just checking who's using them and which model you're happy with.

I think that for the price, it's a very full featured preamp that sounds very good. I sent you a P.M. as well

P.S. there is no way to adjust the ballanced line out, independently of the 1/4" line, back to your amp. So that's something you have to live with, if you're using an amp and running FOH.

Almost 2 years ago I arranged with the distributor (Gordon at Nova Strings) to do a 'Traveling Demo' of the Headway Pre-amps. Here is the link to that thread:

New EDB-2 and EDM-1 from Headway For Trial | TalkBass.com

I have been using the EDB-2 ever since and it is a wonderful piece of equipment. I mount it on my micstand using this:

On-Stage Stands MSA-9508 Posi-Lok Side Mount Boom Arm | Musician's Friend

It's really handy having volume and tone controls right at my fingertips and the tone shaping (and feedback suppression - if needed) are excellent.
