Markbass STUDIO PRE Bass Guitar Pre Amp

STUDIO PRE Bass Guitar Pre Amp description:

The Markbass Studio Pre is a high quality valve bass preamp for both studio and live use, designed with top Italian session bassist Paolo Costa.

The Markbass Studio Pre is the perfect studio tool for recording bassists, combining two channels. Clean is a pristine direct channel featuring a pure parametric filter EQ for fine tuning your sound. The AMP Channel provides three types of distortion (two tube-driven and one solid state type) to mix in with the clean channel. Personalize your sound with the EQ controls and the VPF filter.

The Markbass Studio Pre includes a high-pass filter so you could apply the distortion to the higher frequencies only, leaving the bottom end intact. Push-pull knobs give you the ability to store your distortion settings. The professional compressor on the amp channel helps you tame the edges. The preamp's back-end offers three balanced XLR outputs so you can record each channel separately or together. An indispensable addition to any recording bassist's gear arsenal!
