Abominable Electronics Sunnbather Beta Bass Preamp.

I read about that one, too, have the reviews been killer? Had any hands-on experience?

And for completeness-sake, and because I'm trying to keep as many of these in one place as possible, here is the aforementioned Abominable! Looks INSANE!

No hands on and haven't searched for reviews I was just checking out Abominable Electronics website and seen it and remembered there was a thread going for someone looking for a Sunn Beta preamp pedal so I posted it. Hope you find what your looking for. Cheers!

Well I found it with the Dunwich version, which I actually got long before the circuit gained the traction it has now, but I still love to keep track of the different companies making them, for some reason this particular distortion and overdrive sound is the Bee's Knees to me, so I promote ALL makers!

Boom, another Russian offering with some great additions (FX loop, XLR out, etc), has anyone seen this one yet?

Shift Line - Professional Sound Equipment

too pricey for Russia. -50% it may be ok. i have had their Termofuzz - and it has broken after a second week of delicate using. the great disappointment.

Aw, that's sad to hear. It LOOKS like a good unit, great visual design and clean!

I wasn't aware that DA made a Sunn pre. He makes a GT120 pre. Was it custom?

The Sunn Bather is made by the builder reverse engineering a Sunn Beta head, so it should be very close. He bought a head for this purpose. I don't know if I'm a Sunn guy, but it sounds interesting.

Dunwich had a design that he had Magic assemble for me. The original was a request from a guy in a band, one half was Sunn Beta, the other was a Fuzz Face or similar type fuzz. I went with the Beta only, so it's essentially a Sunn Beta stompbox for getting drive tones. I think there are pictures earlier in this thread, but the point is: it's awesome, and the EQ is changed to be like an Ampeg. I haven't been a fan of the EQ on the normal Sunn Beta Bass, the treble is a shelf control, and I always found it too bright for the sounds I was after.

it was so pity to me. i have traded Termofuzz for Way Huge Swollen Pickle so i was VERY disappointed. when i switched it on - there was nothing but static noise. my power supply has only isolated outputs.
