Update: now sold

 

For sale: EBS MicroBass 3

 

This has been the cornerstone of my doubling setup (upright and bass guitar), or can also be used with a single instrument giving a switchable and blendable drive channel.

 

I have used it both with on-stage amplification and in-ears, with excellent sound quality and completely dependable.  Only selling as I have switched to the quite-similar EBS Stanley Clarke preamp.

 

• Physically connect one or two instruments
• Two-channel preamp with clean and drive channels.  They can be run independently, blended in parallel, or in series.
• Semi-parametric mids on both channels
• Effects loop (mono or stereo)
• Clean channel has compressor, and character & bright switches
• Drive channel has switches for high/low gain and thin/default/deep type
• Two XLR DI outputs: either pre & post, or stereo if using stereo effects.
• Headphone amp
• Aux input
• Tuner

Hi @Alanbass

Yes, you can connect an external device through the aux in, and use it as a headphone practice amp.  That is the way I used it a lot of the time at gigs, except the external device to the aux in was the PA mixer instead of a phone/computer.  I'm no audiophile, but I was happy with the headphone amp, which sounds clear, doesn't introduce buzzing or other noise, and has enough power to go louder than is comfortable for my ears.

I have it on my board as well, great bit of kit with a good OD and very decent compressor built in.

I have one of these - it is a perfect hub for a pedalboard, with Fx send and return; the sound is crisp and authoritative.

It hoiked out a Sansamp from my setup.
