I ordered this just for a bit of fun when I spotted it on Ali Express last month when I was buying a load of other bits This is a clone of the Aguilar AG Preamp - it looks identical except there is no “Aguilar” logo on it in the centre It has a 4B EQ - Bass (40hz), Low Mid (300hz), Hi Mid (800hz) & Treble (4khz) as well as footnswitchable “Bright” and “Deep” switch which can be used separately and together. Use 9 or 18v power - normal pedalboard power works fine, top jacks and DI at side with pre/post eq button - everything is identical to the Aguilar version I have had the Aguilar AG and I liked it - super clean with great EQ/Q frequencies that it’s very difficult to get a bad sound out of, and this clone sounds identical. It’s a sturdy metal enclosure and honestly if it had an Aguilar logo on I would 100% believe it was the real thing. I probably should keep it as it’ll definitely come in useful, but I’ve managed to spunk an absolute fortune this month on basses & pedals and Now the bills are due l am doing my usual trick of selling things for half the price I paid 🤣 I’d very happily keep it but it’s not on my board right now so I have to list it. It’s a really clean preamp that sounds great flat, but the EQ points are sooo good - you really can dial in any tone you want with it Absolute bargain - £35 inc shipping!

Demon FX Sim Amp Bass Station - Preamp/Cab Sim/DI. Bought from Ali Express last month just because I was ordering other things and wanted to try it out! Paid £58 for it It’s a clone of the DSM Humboldt Bass Station. It had 3 band preamp is based on an Ampeg SVT, can be clean or crank the gain for SVT/tube OD, there is also a parallel ‘clean’ path which gives you a really fat low end (which can be enhanced with the LPF @ 500 or 100hz and blend in as much or little as you want) - I didn’t really get this until I played with it, but it works fantastically well to give you fat clean low end underneath the effected signal. There are two fx loops - one for the preamp side and one for the clean side, so you can run OD pedals on the preamp side and then blend in clean signal from the parallel path into it and so it makes any effect pedal you couldn’t use due to losing low end useable again!. There is also an effect loop on the parallel path - there’s loads of yt videos of the DSM version showing how thes fx loops can be used creatively/best Lastly there is the Cab Sim which is outstanding, offering 3 different cabs (115/410/810) and controls for resonance, mic position and wet/dry blend with the preamp/parallel side. It also has two DI’s - one for the effected signal and one that is the clean parallel path only. ALSO - this can be used just as a cab sim by plugging your preamp out into the FX loop return on the preamp fx loop, and honestly the cab sim is really very good. Quality is good - sound and build, and if you look on Google etc there’s a fair amount of feedback from people comparing it to the original DSM version positively Paid £58 for it last month and I’ve played with it for a few hours at home, but that’s all. Happy to give someone a bargain here - it’s a decent little unit, plenty of stuff to play about with and it’s sounds spot on - also you don’t have to wait 3 weeks for it to turn up from China 😁 Absolute bargain - £25 shipped!

Surprisingly light at just under 4.1kg!

I spent years looking for a second one of these, and one pops up not long after I buy a pair of Orange 115s. 🤣😂 Great cab btw. Monstrously loud, with a clear, but vintage sound. I still take mine to band practice rather than the Orange cabs. Best of luck with the sale.

Really good basses - GLWTS

Great basses. Beautiful necks. I’ve got a Precision that I took the neck off and replaced it with one from one of these. Perfection 😁

Gorgeous bass, and that looks even better in the flesh. GLWTS.
