niceguyhomer Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm not sure where to post this but I just want to say that if you're thinking about changing the Tone Pump in your Spector for something else, then I can't recommend the ACG02 highly enough. My good mate Peter (GreeneKing) fitted one to my Euro 5 LX, which I picked up yesterday and I couldn't wait until tomorrow to try it out so I've just nipped home and played it through my rig. The bass still sounds like a Spector but warmer, richer, more controlled (tempted to say compressed) and more musical to my ears. It's a quality piece of kit and extremely versatile too. I'm so pleased I chose the ACG02 over the other preamps I was considering - it sounds fantastic and all my fears about getting my head around the filter system were completely unfounded. Don't ask me to explain what it does or how it does it but I know it works and it's a lot simpler to use than I expected. Muchos gracias to Alan for supplying it so promptly and to Pedro for fitting it. My Euro 5LX is no longer on death row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDM Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 May I ask how much it cost? I'm considering changing out the pre in my Euro too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skelf Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) My thanks to Peter as well for his excellent job. He is the worlds foremost installation expert with regard to the EQ02 pre-amp having fitted more than anyone else on the planet. It has been a problem explaining the pre-amp to people it is very hard to describe on paper with out making it sound complicated when in the real world it is pretty simple to actually use. All the details can be found on the site, pricing in the shop. Alan Edited February 6, 2009 by skelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Thank you I'll be bringing my Warmoth with it's single Darkstar and ACG02 to Harrogate too. Being single pup it's the ideal vehicle for demonstrating the pre in it's most elimentary and easily grasped form. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
