Fishman Platinum Pro EQ Analog Double Bass Preamp

Description

The Fishman Platinum Pro EQ Double Bass Preamp:

We’ve been looking forward to this new Fishman preamp here in the shop, and it looks as if it will not disappoint. Jack has grabbed the first one and will report back from the dark underbelly of New England nightclubs, where it hopefully won’t be stolen immediately. At first glance, the thing is gorgeous and built like a tank, with heavy-duty switches leaning it towards use as a stompbox. We were very pleased to find such an excellent tuner incorporated – foot-switchable!  We’ll offer a complete review and video after a little more use…check back to see it!

The Fishman Platinum Pro EQ Double Bass Preamp delivers incredibly accurate, all-analog, sonic detail for your double bass. A discrete, high-headroom Class-A preamp uses precision, high-speed circuitry for the highest fidelity and low distortion. Classic Fishman tone centers with sweepable mid are combined with a switchable guitar/bass EQ mode, making it more musical for bass instruments and more universal for recording and performing musicians. The Platinum Pro EQ integrates critical performance features like an adjustable volume boost and a balanced XLR D.I. output housed in a beautiful, road-ready design. The Platinum Pro EQ is built to be stomped on with durable foot switches that activate the adjustable volume boost or high-contrast chromatic tuner. It also includes a simple and effective analog soft-knee compressor, effect loop, and precision sweepable notch filter.
