About This Listing

Thanks for your attention.

For your consideration.

Here's a kit. Preamp+ Compressor + case


The main pieces obviously the Alembic F-1X preamp.

The compressor and the case come as a bonus. I'll ship it altogether.


The F-1X features include a tube input stage (12AX7 tube)

The F-1X gives you a unity-gain impedance matching amplifier to feed guitar-level effects units. The effects return goes thru the tube gain stage and then to the tone controls. The signal from the tone controls is amplified and sent to the full-range output jack on the rear panel. This same signal is also fed to the crossover network. A transformer-isolated output feeds a 3-pin Cannon jack.

"F-1X is the mono version of our classic F-2B preamp. We kept the same tone section and added a few goodies like a direct output, built in effects loop and crossover. You can still use it in a simple setup since the F-1X also includes a standard full range output. Tube warmth? It's in there, and with an easy interface of Bass, Middle, Treble, you'll find it hard to make the F-1X make a bad sound. Maybe that's why Bass Player Magazine gave the F-1X its highest rating, and why you rarely see one offered on the used market. Stanley Clarke is Actually Using two of These as seen in Rig Rundown. "

Once again, everything functions perfectly.  There are few minor scratches on it, but nothing major at all.  In my opinion this only as character. mIt's in great shape overall! 

An unbeatable deal on an incredible Bass preamp kit, used by the Legends of Bass!
