BassAdder60 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Recently looked at basic pre amp pedals to run in front of my CTM100 to give me more EQ choices. Tried the Ampeg Classic Preamp pedal which is low cost and sounded nice but very noisy so back it went Next in is the MXR Bass PreAmp and although you can buy it’s big brother with drive ( which I don’t need ) I went for the simpler model yet it still has a DI out if needed The pedal is super quiet with very well thought out EQ points for Bass Mids and Treble. Mids have a sweepable frequency control too. Input and output controls for totally clean EQ Very nice sounding and does the job very well I like it 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackopie1 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 This was my first ever pedal, apart from a tuner! It's a great d.i. I wish the treble knob was a little more useful, though? Have just got a spark, too, from a guitarist friend. I think that is a great sounding overdrive. Really couldn't believe how natural and warm it sounded, let alone for something so cheap! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted March 20, 2023 Author Share Posted March 20, 2023 The MXR bass preamp proved to be a great success at last gig Gave me so much more EQ adjustment with my CTM100 Excellent pedal and quiet in operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.G.E.N.T.E. Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Great pedal! I have one at the end of my signal chain right after compression. The DI is very good. I compared it to a few DI pedals I have at home, and it was clearly de best one even better than the DI on my markbass LM Tube 800. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Post gig update Yep it works very well I’ve got better EQ control over my CTM100 head plus a little push into the amps input for more valve goodness. Added the MojoMojo and I have all pedals ON and back off my bass volume slightly so I can increase at will depending on song Edited March 27, 2023 by BassAdder60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
