thisisswanbon Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 So glad I didn't pull the trigger on a V1 if this is the case! Can't see what else it could be, but I'm excited to find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higgie Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Looks like its a preamp pedal based on the AG amp. Looks promising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I would love to have loved this but I can see a couple of reasons why I wouldn't buy one: 1. A Bass control centred at 40hz is surely only usable as a cut. Boosting 40hz would just be mush. Makes it a bit redundant IMO. 80hz or thereabouts would have been much more musical. 2. I can't think of any reason why I would want to engage Bright/Deep mid-set that would require the use of a footswitch. Perhaps a mute would have been better.

Depends Aguilar and Sadowsky preamps are from a similar family design wise, the Sadowsky preamp is boost only at 40Hz and has been popular for a while... I've managed to use it without it being mush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musicman20 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I understand why they did this, but seems a bit late in the game. I was hoping for something that was a brand new design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo m Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 This Company has produced 'some' pedals that for myself remain unconvincing. Their last micro Compression & Preamp offerings remain uninspiring & lackluster so' viewing this.. their latest preamp offering it doesn't appear to cover any new ground...???? What's the big deal..?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc79 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Just spotted this. It seems they missed a trick here, in that it seems like a very clean preamp/DI. A second channel / footswitch for some drive / distortion would surely have been better, they could've still had the Bright and Deep options as buttons as well. It's good that they added headphone / AUX inputs, but a dirt option would've been excellent on this. . . like a scaled down Tone Hammer, with XLR out where (IMO) it should be, facing left.
