Double Bass Triton Audio products for DB use?

[swingingoodtime]

Hi all,

Has anyone tried any of the Triton Audio products? I'm interested in the BigAmp as an in-line piezo-pickup preamp (+15dB):

They also have a mic preamp (FetHead), although the 20dB of amplification comes with a caveat: @1000ohms impedance. For a vocal mic of about 300 ohms, you be looking at about 10dB & a ribbon mic (60 ohms-ish) only about 5dB.

FetHead - tritonaudio

Figures aside however, both are supposed to improve frequency & transient response due to their acting as impedance matching buffers. Both also have impressively flat response curves, although there's no indication of the how much smoothing has been applied to obtain these. Another caveat; they both need phantom power (18-48V) to work.

Anyone able to provide an account of their experiences with these for DB use?

Thanks!

I'm guessing that's a probable 'No' then...

Oh well. If I decide to bite the bullet & try one, I'll post my findings here...

Have you tried it? I am considering getting one myself...

I have two of the Triton Audio FETHeads, as well as two of the similar Cloud Audio Cloudlifters.

They work great ... for microphones. I'm not understanding why someone would need or want one for double bass, as pickups don't typically need more gain. If your amp has only line-level inputs, then you would need a preamp.

I am considering Triton Bigamp Piezo for gigs at which I am feeding FOH directly (ampless).

What's important is that it has a high input impedance...(7,5 MOhm)

I am using the Triton Audio BigAmp Piezo (check the Piezo part when ordering, there is a BigAmp without Piezo too) with a PhantomPower Adapter XVive P1 to have a connection from DB piezo to PA, works well for me. Don't have to set anything myself and leave everything to the PA. The XVive P1 has build in Accu and can be loaded using USB. If the PA supplies Phantom Power, just the Triton BigAmp Piezo is in the cable to PA. All I need beside that is a short instrument cable between piezo and BigAmp and a long microphone cable from BigAmp to PA, looks almost like just a simple cable.
