Hi Sk8, the input impedance is 2.2Megohms. Enough to cope with pretty much any pickup or piezo for that matter. Thanks!

Here's Dave Swift receiving his BPA-1. I'll see if he'll pop over here and tell you about it.

Hi there Sorry for the delay in replying. We have been busy this last week delivering our first line of amplifiers to retailers. Yes, the BPA-1 has the same compressor as the Squeezer. It's designed to be run into the A900 power amp and function as a single unit, with absolute quality from point to point. Tell you what - how would you like to try a Squeezer pedal? I'll have one sent to you to try, in return for a bit of a review. Afterwards, you can pass it on to another member. @ped can we get a list together?

How about a demo of the BPA-1 preamp pedal? Using this state of the art pre-amp into a power amplifier gives you the flexibility and modularity of a full rig with the controls at your feet. Have a look at these videos and let us know what you think. Would you be interested in trying one? We'll see if we can get a demo unit for people to try. Let us know below... and please ask if you have any questions. Full details about this unit are here

We'd love to hear what Basschatters think. Visit http://bassics.co.uk for more information Bassics Cruncher Pedal The Cruncher distortion pedal can be switched to 'hard' or 'soft', with the hard setting adding extra harmonics, and could become a favourite with guitar players as well as bass users. Bassics Omni Pre The Omni Pre preamp/bass switcher is just the right foot stomp to instantly change from one instrument to another, say from fretted to fretless, or upright. Heck, Malcolm Toft has even done the unthinkable and put in a mix switch to run both channels at the same time! RRP £199 Bassics Squeezer The Squeezer compressor pedal is a studio quality VCA with a sound much like the revered dbx160. The controls allow the player to control the levels of drive, compression and overall gain. RRP £199 Bassics Tone Ranger The Tone Ranger EQ pedal is a three band preamp with sweepable frequencies. The illuminated controls come in to their own on a dimly lit floor! RRP £199 *Excluding the daddy of them all, the BPA-01 Floor preamp which is AC powered only.
