I'm selling my TBP-1 :
Very good condition, barely played, looks like new.
Never been racked and has been kept in a non smoking studio, stored in a case.
I bought it without footswitch (Don't needed one in my studio use) so I'm selling it without one ! (Footswitch is not included)
Comes with the original manual and schematic, don't have the original box anymore.
The TBP-1 has an interactive passive circuit delivers creamy tube tone that allows the color of the instrument to shine through. Features a Fender passive tone stack section for vintage tones, a tube overdrive section, Vari-Q EQ section, and an effects loop.

This preamp is designed around the same preamps used in such Fender classics as the Twin Reverb and Dual Showman. Now, initially you might think that since its based around two different guitar preamps that it will be a bit bass shy. Quite the contrary, only the passive tone stack, gain stage and tube integration is based on those amps, the frequency centers and Q's (bandwidth) are different and more suited to a bass application. Now, unlike a lot of tube preamps, this one actually makes use of its tube. All stages are ran through the tubes. There is a tube in the clean section that buffers your initial signal, then again during the EQ stage, then one more time during the output gain stage (that's some serious useage of a single 12AX7). The second tube is dedicated for the overdrive function of the amp.
