silverfoxnik Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Folks Just wondering if anyone has one of the EBS pre-amps that Bernie Goodfellow supplies and fits in basses and if so, do you know if the pots can be trimmed in any way to adjust which frequencies are increased/decreased? Hope that makes sense...... Cheers Nik Quote

With the switch engaged, you get a high cut circuit - the switch changes between treble or a mid/treble mode. In the mid/treble mode, boosting the highs simulatneously cuts mids (superb for slap) and similarly, cutting highs boosts the mids. As far as modifications to the circuit, you'll be pretty hard pushed; its in a plastic case sealed with epoxy resin to keep it noise free. It's all that micro circuitry stuff so it'd be pretty hard to do anyway - I guess you could experiment with capacitors at the pots as that could manipulate the frequencys to what you want... PS - they are super circuits. Defo worth putting in your bass. They may be only 2 eq, but the circuit doesn't require anything further. Edited January 16, 2008 by EBS_freak Quote
WishICouldWalk Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I don't see how it could be done because it's a sealed box with just a wire running out of it. You'd have to pull off all the resin type stuff and then tinker around with what would be a pretty small circuit.
