BassAgent Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'm looking at a new preamp pedal when going on tour playing with in-ear monitoring only and came across the Nordstrand Starlifter pedal ] It's around £280, which is not cheap but also a lot cheaper than e.g. the Noble preamp. Does anyone own one or have experience with using one of these? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SumOne Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Perhaps I'm missing something but their website says it's a clean DI tone - if it's not adding any preamp colour at all (just 3 band EQ with sweepable mids) then doesn't the MXR M81 do the same job in a smaller footprint for about half the price? Or a Q-Strip for a similar price but with additional EQ options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAgent Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Possibly, but this pedal offers more options (ground lift, -20 dB), a different EQ etcetera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q-strip does have ground lift and -20db (plus 2x sweepable mids and HPF and LPF), and the M81 has ground lift. But yeah, perhaps the option of different EQ settings is a reason to go for the Starlifter instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
