Darkglass tone capsule preamp

[RonC]

Does anyone here has experiences with the Darkglass tone capsule preamp?

For the bass I’m building right now I’m gonna use a Lace Aluma bass Barr pickup (at the stingray position) and the Darkglass preamp looks quite interesting to me.

I have one - currently in a bass that I want to convert back to passive and sell before trying it out in my Sandberg Basic (also a Stingray-like setup). That has 40Hz/550Hz/18kHz controls, and I find boosting 40 adds too much rumble, and there’s not much going at 18kHz when I’m using flats!

The Tone Capsule should be much more usable with 70Hz/500Hz/2.8kHz.

Thanks!! 
those frequencies sound indeed far more usable!

(I don’t even hear anything anymore above the 15kHz…)

I had one put in my Lull after the East preamp stopped working.  

 

I'll admit that when I (finally) got it up and running (see elsewhere), it didn't really do it for me.  That said, I haven't run it through my XB Driver.  Might be a revelation.  I'll try later.
