Hey all

 

So here's a unique preamp. If you're looking at this, you probably know what it is already.

 

You'll need to have some unique pickups to go with this one - multicoils with multiple outputs, like Herrick or Turrner pickups. 

 

I've documented the sound of this well over at my Youtube channel, and many might be familiar with it through that. One video showcasing it is at https://youtu.be/tGkFYOLNOyo?si=8OJjIjhJFvUppCB4

 

Since I've now upgraded to the Mark 2 version of this preamp, I don't need the Mark 1 version anymore. 

 

This version doesn't have a pick attack/treble boost switch or variable Q filters, though it remains excellent nonetheless. It has slightly wider frequency ranges for the pickups as a result. I've copied the blurb from the Bass Direct website for ease:

 

'The Double NFP Special preamp is an evolution of the Double NFP but designed specifically for Multicoil pickups that benefit from a “one humbucker per string” coil wiring, simulating Wal MK electronics. The idea is to get a full Humbucker pickup with one pair of coils per string combining them electronically for minimum loading effect and string isolation. This method of mixing the coils brings maximum output, clarity, and punch out of the pickups without any adverse loading effects.

The filter controls have now been updated with a sweepable resonant peak that ranges from 100hz to 4 kHz on the Neck and 200Hz to 4kHz on the Bridge. You can also boost the cutoff frequency(resonant peak) by pulling up the potentiometer.

It offers 6x inputs so that you can wire any multi-coil pickup up to 6 strings.

 

Sweepable filters Range – Neck: 100hz to 4khz; Bridge: 200Hz to 4kHz.

Resonant Peak– +3db standard/ +6db boosted

Voltage operation– 9v to 27vDC

Current Draw– +-5mAh (@9v)

Filter boards x2: W: 4,4cm; H: 2,6cm; 😧 1,7cm Blend board x1: W:3.2cm; H: 2.2cm; 😧 1.3cm
Potentiometers: Hole size is 6 mm and bush height is 10mm. (to be used with 6.35mm knobs)'

 

It's fully working.

 

Annoyingly, I don't have the interconnect cables between boards, so you'll need to get those direct from Nuno. (They haven't changed between preamp versions though.) Because of the extra hassle, I have discounted the preamp even further.

 

The newer version costs £259. I'll offer this one as a bargainous £105 shipped in UK.
