The Fido Bass Preamp is a no-nonsense pedal with the features a pro needs: two knobs — gain and volume. Dial the gain to your desired balance between punch and saturation, then set the volume to tickle the next piece of hardware in your signal chain.

"You'll be surprised how flexible your chain is, simply by leveling at the input. Try putting a fuzz pedal after the preamp, then dial back the volume for a light fizzy sparkle. Or crank it up for a whole new world of growl from your chorus pedal." — Fidoman

Designed to be first in your signal chain — a high input impedance jFET stage at 24V brings tube-like warmth and punchy headroom with ultra low noise. A unique solid-state feedback circuit puts the gain exactly where you want it, anywhere between punchy clean and saturated fat.

"I originally designed the preamp for the studio, where the bass player is often at the mercy of whatever DI is in the rack. Not even the most expensive outboard gear takes gracefully to a P-bass getting punched hard. The Fido abides." — Fidoman
