xgsjx Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 As it says, I’m looking for a good preamp pedal to replace the laptop virtual rig. Bass is an Ibby SoundGear strung with Chrome flatwounds. Bass has Aggi pickups & OBP2 pre & shall be going into FRFR (small Yamaha desk to RCF 915). My current virtual rigs are either a GK rig or an Ampeg b15. Been looking at the Two Notes pres, the Ampeg pres & the Sansamp. But what’s folks opinions & what are you finding good for a good Bassy, but clear sound?

Supernaut Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 EBS or Aguilar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbobothy Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 SolidgoldFX Beta Mk 2 is a great B15 vibe pedal, also the TC Electronic Mojo Mojo is also very good (especially for the price!). I have both of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisswanbon Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Following as also in the market for a new preamp - Do you have any specific feature requirements? (Aux in/Phones out, Cab sim or LPF/HPF etc?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Aux in/Phones out, Cab sim or LPF/HPF etc?) None of those features you mentioned are a requirement, having or not having them has no affect on me, though the cab sim might be a handy thing. At home, I tend to go through the laptop/audio interface & into either studio monitors or headphones. Preference is to have XLR out, but not essential. I don’t play hard rock or metal, so a preamp that’s great for those genres only is what I want to avoid. If it has a drive section (which most do), I can make use of it though.

Lozz196 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Tech21 Q-Strip, completely clean, sweepable low and high mids, very versatile piece of kit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adee Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I've recently started using an EBS Microbass 3 and so far it's very good, clean and drive channels very tweakable but also not over complicated certainly worth a look at the reviews on YouTube etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
