Double Bass Preamp Pedal with boost

I'm looking for a pre amp pedal with the following features:
HPF
Boost
Di out

I was looking to put what i want together myself using various schematics i found online but found it was not cost effective and quite a bit of work.

The Fishman Platinum pro has all the features i want but is quite pricey.
The smaller platinum model has all to features i want as well except the boost is not foot switchable

Well,
If you feel the Fishman Platinum Pro is to expensive that would eliminate the Grace Designs Alix and The Radial’s leaving you with the Broughton which I believe is currently “out of stock”. So you’re going to be looking at used units or perhaps a revised feature set. The Headway EDB-1 (used only) EDB-2’s are great preamps with a switchable HPF and DI. It mounts on a microphone stand.

It kinda does, doesn't it.

The vong-filterung kit appliers the boost only to the 1/4" output. NOT the xlr out. Real bummer, it was almost perfect.

I went ahead and ordered the kit anyway and will use the 1/4" out to a separate di or my amp di when I use one.

I was planning on putting the vong-filterung kit into a larger enclosure with and additional post boost di transformer, but realized I do not have the proper tools to make an xlr sized hole. Will possibly revisit in the future.
