E-A-SKI - Tom Hilbe B-50 2026 - Black

Up for sale is an EASKI B-50, the 500-series preamp designed by Tom Hilbe. It's in excellent condition: clean faceplate, smooth pots, all switches solid, and it passes audio perfectly with no noise, crackle, or hum.

Used it most on drum machines and samplers. Push the gain and the transformer starts to thicken and round off transients, which works great for kicks, snares, and 808s. Keep the gain lower and it stays clean and punchy. It's a real character box for beat makers, and it's just as useful on vocals, bass, and guitar.

Highlights:

• 500-series format (needs a 500-series rack/lunchbox)
• Front-panel Hi-Z/instrument input
• Transformer-coupled, with rich harmonic saturation when driven
• Smoke-free, pet-[free/friendly] professional studio

Includes: [Original box / module only]
