40hz Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 My Flea has the obp-1. All I can say is it has an almost unreal amount of power on tap. So much gain (almost too much). The bass control is very powerful and subtle. The treble has a wide range and almost acts like a tone control too. Great pre-amp. More musical useful settings than the Glockenlang I had on my Sandberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero71 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 OBP-1 is a beast. Have one in my Spector Euro4, together with EMG's they rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krispn Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) Hey I had the external unit (on two different occasions) and loved it. Added a really musical oomph to the bass sound - as you may already have read Aguilar made the Sadowsky veriosn originally before branding them as ther OBP-1. If you are fitting this circuit to a bass make sure and have the passive tone option (but that might only be available on the Sadowsky preamp)- it allows one to dial in the brightness but pull back a bit overall with the passive tone - it just tames the top end a bit. I should add originally I used a A/B loop to pull the OBP-1 -the DB924 I think it was called - in when needed but then just kept in on all the time as my magic box of tone!
