Xotic Effects Bass BB-Preamp V1.5

The Bass BB-Preamp V1.5 refines Xotic’s trusted low-end drive box with extra headroom, stage-friendly tweaks, and the same wide tonal range. Running at 9V gives a compressed punch that fattens notes, while 18V opens things up with more clarity and breathing room. The Gain knob moves fluidly from a clean, hi-fi boost to smooth, harmonically rich overdrive, keeping the lows intact no matter how hard it’s pushed. Bass and Treble controls offer up to ±15dB of cut or boost, making it easy to slot into any mix. Updates like the top-mounted power jack and high-contrast knobs keep it practical for live use, while true bypass keeps the dry signal pure. It’s not a fuzz monster, but as a flexible preamp/drive that balances grit and transparency, the V1.5 hits a sweet spot for working bassists.

Includes original box.
