what do you think would you get that smith agressive tone ? is it worth it or is just a preamp ?

have any of you tried it ? what you think ?

This is the same preamp that is in my bass, it's very good, quiet, adjustable via dip switches and can go from very subtle to very aggressive.

The sound is probably a combination of the (Kent Armstrong designed?) pickups, wiring choices (parallel humbuckers) and the preamp. On a quick look..that looks like an expensive box for what it does (preamp and headphone amp) and there are many other options for less money.
