alembic1989 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 I am looking for a preamp system..a lot of them have blend controls which is fine..and also active/passive choices and often a passive tone control. My question is this..when in passive mode will the pick up blend control still work? If not how do I switch between front and back pup in passive mode.?? Any info gratefully received.

~tl Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 It really depends on the pre-amp system – some have that functionality while others don't. For example, John East's pre-amps bypass the blend control in passive mode and just have an equal mix of the two pickups. What ones are you considering?

I've got my eye on a Noll preamp..it is a 5 knob configuration.. 1)..vol/blend (push pul/ fpr active passive 2) Bass 3) treble 4) Midfreq / boost 5) Passive tone Noll because they have pretty good write ups in Bass talk..and also I've seen a new old stock one on ebay.
