xilddx Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) EAST PREAMP - U-Retro Deluxe 4-knob Gold. This is a fairly recent product and not on his site yet. I chose it after a long chat with John about my requirements. It's basically the 5 Knob U-Retro with the Blend and Volume as a stack. It is a fantastic pre, very versatile and wonderfully built. These are £218 new. This is in mint condition. [b]£160 posted.[/b] Edited September 19, 2011 by silddx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Nigel - does this have the 6mm threaded shafts for fitting through the scratch plate? I'm guessing so. And does it have the little toggle switches or do the controls somehow by-pass these? Can't see in the pic. Ta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hello Paul, I believe they are 6mm and I'll check tomorrow. This design is John's switchless version. From front to back it has volume/pickup pan stack, bass/treble stack with pull bright, mid/sweep stack, and a passive tone/pull for passive mode. Cheers, Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Hello Paul, They are 10mm with a spacer nut so it's fine for PG or rear mount. Cheers, N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 I thought I had the original box, but I haven't. It will be packaged well but because of that, let's call it £150.

Paul S Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Thanks Nigel. Sounds like it would be perfect for my refurbished Precision Lyte. Against the advice of everyone on here I replaced the existing broken innerds with an Artec SE-2 and I'm slightly less than happy with it. Although I have yet to play it at rehearsal/gig volume - that is going to be tomorrow night - so will leave final judgement until then. Plus I just have to justify shelling out. I'll have a think and let you know after then - of course if there is another taker in the meanwhile that is their good fortune . Two more questions - are all the pup connections soldered or does it have the little screw connectors? And does the passive tone roll off work when active? This is a feature something I find useful on my P-Retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
