Noble Amps Preamp

Pulled the trigger on a Noble and it just shipped out. Can't wait to get this on the gig later this month! I'll post results. Normally, my band uses in-ears, but this gig we're using the house PA, so we're skipping the IEMs for simplicity and pushing the on-stage support monitors (full tilt rock 'n roll!). Should be interesting. I'll be running my Sadowsky NYC P/J into the Noble DI (straight to the house) and into a Tecamp Puma 900/S212 rig for the stage, which already sounds fantastic as it is! If it can make the Tecamp rig sound even better, I'll be amazed! I love that little rig! 
Input is on the right side (power outlets side). Output is on the DI (left) side, as well as the ground lift switch.
Try it in the effects return and bypass the pre of the Tec Amp. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.Pulled the trigger on a Noble and it just shipped out.

The longer I have my Noble DI, the more I love it. What a great and elegant tool!
A search in the classifieds brings up 3 of these having been sold second hand in the past. That is incredibly impressive considering how fickle TB is about gear.
Mine is only going with me. This is a keeper!
. Good job Jack
anyone using the noble with an acoustic bass? Got a Godin A4 I fancy using with this as well as my P
The newest addition and easily the best component of my pedal board (top left, of course!). Replaces the preamp section of my TecAmp Puma 900, replaces the DI and sounds much better doing it, and replaces my Voodoo Labs Power Plus to power everything on the board! Incredible product. Will be driving this on the gig a week from this Saturday.
What did I tell you. I love my TH500, but bypassing the pre with the Noble gave me the best stage tone I've ever had. Now add one of these and eliminate the Line 6, the Pitchblack, and the need to ever have a battery for your wireless. The hr. life on the internal rechargeable is ridiculous.The newest addition and easily the best component of my pedal board (top left, of course!).

Yes, sir, you were right. I just spent an hour or so A/Bing the Tecamp Puma 900 vs. Noble through the Tecamp bypassing the pre. I used to love the Puma 900! And it still sounds great, but damn, there's no comparison with the Noble! It also looks funny with there being no cables in the front of the Puma. It looks like it's just sitting there to look pretty. Haha!
I haven't messed with the EQ yet. Have just been comparing flat vs flat. 1 week till the gig test. Very excited!
Never seen that Shure before. I'm liking it! Would love to kill the pitchblack and swap it out for another toy. I'll read up on that. Very tempting...
I have one and love it. The tuner is quite accurate and from what I can tell, it has great range. As I said the battery charge life of the transmitter is spectacular. You can can charge it from the supplied adapter by A/C or USB. The pedal gives a very accurate reading of battery strength. Also, you can charge while on break and get a ton more playing time.
