SolidGoldFX Beta V Bass Preamp

Every bassist is on the hunt for the classic thump and rumble of an old tube amp, but most of us can’t schedule a semi to haul around our bass rig. Fret not bassists... Enter BETA V. The bass-board mainstay is back with more versatility and control than ever before!

• SGFX JFET Preamp
• Augmented classic Beta architecture
• Active Post Gain Dual Band Baxandall EQ
• Selectable Low Pass Filter | 3-position toggle with center bypass.
• Asymmetric diode clipping with expanded gain range.
• Soft-touch True bypass switching and top-mounted jacks
• Made in Montreal, Canada
• Powered by 9-18V DC PSU (centre -, 2,1 mm, 15mA current draw)

Our timeless Beta circuit architecture has been put on a wagyu diet in order to provide you with a wider range of tones. The low-pass filter now has two settings for bumped or scooped mids as well as a center bypass setting for a more transparent experience, and the Drive control has been reworked for either lower gain applications or to send your bass to the furnace (meaning drive that low-end)!

Oh, but it doesn’t stop there... The most important addition is an active 2 band post-gain EQ, which allows you to boost or cut your highs and lows with a flat center response. Dial in warm, thumpy Motown tones, some fat, crunchy Lemmy drive, or shatter the ground beneath with some deep-dub bass.

And of course, all of this comes in a pedalboard friendly sized case with top mounted jacks, soft-touch, relay based, true bypass switching and 9-18V DC operation. Are you ready for the thump?
