Owen Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 This came in a MM US SUB I bought while playing Ebay Roulette. It was sold as being a Nordstrand, but I suspect it is not! Can anyone recognise what it actually is? It did the MM 2 band thing fine and dandy but I now have a different pre in there and want to flog this one.

Hellzero Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Looks like a very well done copy of the original 2 bands EQ, but not a Mojotone and certainly not a Nordstrand. Remove the double sided tape, maybe there's something engraved... but I had an original US Sub and it looked like this preamp.

Owen Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 I guess it could be an original SUB one. The seller on Ebay had put a Seymour Duncan pickup in it so it is likely to at least be decent. Selling it would be easier if I could actually give it a name though!

BassBunny Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Could it be a Retro vibe Stinger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 I have looked at Retrovibe stuff and their boards seem to have Retrovibe on them. This does not. There are no clues under the DS tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Super close up action. Which I suspect will tell us nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 But here is a screenshot of an old school (better toooooooone, obv) Nordy MM pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Looks like an old Nordstrand indeed. The lettering is the same at the same place with the same references and the IC is the same. You know what it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 And yours must be a first generation as the IC is soldered directly on the circuit, not pushed in a soldered support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 Thanks for humouring me everyone And because it is an early one the tooooooone is better. Those are the rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
