Aguilar DB680 valve preamp - *SOLD*
£1300
Burntisland, Fife


Recommended Posts

Aguilar's classic original design which put them on the map. Extremely versatile and musical preamp, which has been part of my high headroom rig for years.

 

The DB 680 has two fully parametric EQs, (not semi-parametric), for complete tone shaping possibilities, a tube driven resonance circuit, tube effects loop, and variable balanced outputs. For the road, there’s a great sounding crossover, -40 pre and post-eq outputs for the mixing console and footswitchable (foot switch not supplied) inputs and master mute (leaves tuner input on for silent tuning). The chassis of the DB 680 is steel, and can withstand the bumps and grinds of a tour. Most importantly, the ten tube stages make for a sweet, warm tone and smooth feel beyond compare!

 

The manual can be found on Aguilar's website: . Features:

Oh wow! Such an iconic bass preamp!

 

Hope you're keeping the Hellborg and its still going strong! Miss that thing!

Good to hear from you!

The Hellborg is going along with the DB680. I've been looking out for the Hellborg preamp for a while now without success, and the whole rig will be funding something else 🙂
