EMG BTS System

Mooie pre-amp. Goeie toonregeling zonder dat "kleur" van het geluid te beinvloeden.
Zelfs een klein beetje draaien is al hoorbaar, zowel bij de toonregeling als bij de pickup balans/blend.
Zelfs als je het hoog helemaal open draait geen ruis.
Met de dip-switches op het treble regelaar kan je nog uit vier verschillende midden/hoog frequentie-bereiken kiezen.
Heb deze pre-amp samen met een set actieve EMG P/J pickups als upgrade gemonteerd (18v). Dankzij de duidelijke handleiding en het stekker systeem een simpel klusje. Weinig soldeerwerk.

I bought this amplifier and tone system for my very old Warwick streamer. A total restoration of my bass was completed with these new electronics. Soundwise these electronics are not different than the original EMT preamp, but a bit less noise in favor of the EMG. Lacks midrange tone settings. I also replaced the pickups with EMG. The total sound of my bass was not compromised after these replacements. Very easy installation of this premium brand, and of course quickly delivered.

I fitted this as an upgrade (along with a set of EMG PJX pickups) to my Epiphone EBM-4 bass. The original setup utilised passive pickups with active electronics. The pre-amp board went on the original, so I decided to overhaul.

Instant new bass, I?m really happy with the results. The sound quality is far superior compared to the original setup. The bass and treble controls provide a nice level of boost/cut and the internal dip switches allow for additional tonal options.

I opted for an 18v power configuration, this required a little soldering. Well worth opting for the higher voltage supply as it ensures a really strong signal. You will need a second battery clip for this, only one is provided with the kit.

My output jack was a long barrel style one and I also had to solder its connections.

Pros:
Easy to install due to the quick connect system
Very clear instructions
All materials required were provided, including some shrink tubing if you have to solder like I did.

Cons:
These have long pot stems which didn?t fit 100% as planned however was overcome with some washers, so no big issue.

Verdict:
I?m very pleased with my purchase. It arrived on time and allowed for a hassle-free installation. A quality product, would highly recommend this.
