The Sadowsky SBP-2 Bass Preamp is a compact and powerful preamp designed for bass guitars. It offers the same high-quality electronics found in Sadowsky basses and is ideal for use in the effects setup in front of the amplifier. The preamp features a boost-only EQ section for Bass and Treble, with Bass providing a +18 dB boost at 40 Hz and Treble offering a +18 dB boost at 4 kHz. The controls include Volume, Treble, and Bass, with the Treble and Bass functioning solely as a boost.
The SBP-2 Bass Preamp is designed for upgrading old vintage instruments without altering the original electronics.
