John East U Retro CANCELLED £105

[GreeneKing]

I've just taken this East U retro out of my ACG Salace (having replaced it with an East made ACG filter pre).

It has a non switchable passive tone fitted so it's not strictly speaking a U Retro Deluxe but it's part way there (the Deluxe has active/passive switching on the passive tone control).

I've decided to re-use the knobs in the photo and I've re-priced the pre to reflect this.

It is 3 EQ with a treble boost and sweepable mids, a very worthwhile feature imo.

Hi Pete,
do you know if this will work with the passive tone removed ? Also, Is it soldered in or on a block connector ?
I've been thinking about fitting a U-retro in my Thumb but don't want to add any holes, ie, the Thumb has 3 controls. I've read that you would normally tuck the switch in the cavity and leave it there when fitting one of these a Thumb.
If it will then please put my name on it.
Cheers for now bud,
Pete.

Pete I'll pm you.

Pete, I can't pm on my phone for some reason. I am the numpty. I would have liked to have put this in my 90 NT thumb myself but with it being 4 knob I decided to sell it.

But, the passive tone is just an add on wired into the pup inputs.

So I can use it in my thumb and get sweepable mids!

Your post made me realise the obvious and I'll need to cancel the sale and keep it.

Humble apologies.

Peter
