Owned from new. Purchased when my rig was stolen and it prompted a switch to an iem only set up. Although it has seen many gigs, apart from the first couple of rehearsals it has always been kept on a pedalboard and is still in good condition (see photos for scratches on side of chassis)
Love the preamp, but have swapped to a line 6 for my function band as prefer the one pedal set up (and don’t love taking my pedals out to gigs where punters and their drinks aren’t always so respectful of the gear!)
This is the original, slightly larger, chassis. When Trickfish released the second version I did check with them, and they confirmed it was only the housing that changed - there was no change to the preamps itself.
Currently £685 new.
I have the original power supply, but can’t find the original box currently. Price including UK postage. Collection also possible - nearby services include rownhams, chieveley, fleet, Winchester, Liss etc
Description copied from new item listing:
The Trilobite is an extremely flexible, high quality dual channel preamplifier paired with routing options required for modern gig setups. The Bullhead EQ section allows for a broad range of tone control including shelving EQ’s for the Bass and Treble controls and variable band pass EQ’s for the Lo Mid and Hi Mid. A parallel and series effect loop, along with two direct outputs, make the Trilobite ideal for the stage or studio. Whether it’s in a pedalboard setup or standalone, you’ll have the most versatile setup possible no matter where you are.
