Alembic F-1X Mono Preamp
Alembic F-1X Mono Preamp   (Item# 3287)


Rocket Music's Description

This is the preamp I've used in my personal rig for well over 10 years. When paired with a good power amp and speakers, the tone produced is exactly what bass tone should be. Full and warm, but never dull. IMHO, YMMV, of course :)

If you follow my sound clips on TalkBass, most of them feature bass tracks with this preamp in the signal chain.

Alembic's Description

The 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 set up 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.
