fleabag Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Having failed to find anything useful using " dual preamp " in the search function, got to ask here. I'd like a dual preamp head, ( not dual power amp ) and footswitchable , so i can set two different EQ sounds for one bass. I've already owned a Carvin BX - great amp - but over the top. Found i didn't need two internal power amps. I know there's a Markbass LMK, but cannot find one 2nd hand. Genz Shuttle Max 9 ( 9.2 ? ) i believe had dual preamps , and maybe the Mesa Titan v12, but thats too much, especially the price. Is there any other dual preamp heads that i could be looking for ?

discreet Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Have you considered an on-board preamp? I found it useful when I had a Sire V7 Jazz. Nice to have options at your fingertips, you don't even have to wander back and forth to your amp. On the other hand when I moved it on I found the simplicity of a passive P Bass attractive, too... but then I'm a great believer in having everything as simple as possible at gigs. Bass > lead > combo > done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - that's an odd looking amp. Looks like a big foot pedal - i'll check this out too, though if, as you say, they're expensive, maybe not. Interesting though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the idea of a footswitchable dual pre means i dont have to keep walking back to the amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bam Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) The markbass evo i have for sale at the moment, has x2 separate channels, each of which can be set to 12 different models, and have their own eq and fx. AND if you want you can blend them. You can select which one to use by a little switch, or there is a foot switch available. Both channels can be run and selected for one bass, or you can also input 2 basses if needed. Edited September 20, 2018 by la bam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumnote Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 the mesa boogie basis 2000 had two preamps, 1 valve, 1 fet and you could blend them as well. Discontinued a while ago so would be second hand only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
