From the vendor

Project overview

Check the latest onboard preamplifier from the house of Dark Glass, now in the form of a pedal!

The original Tone Capsule Bass is an active circuit that usually goes installed inside the bass and is a new, uncommon take on its type. Instead of the typical Bass / Mids / Treble, it features Low, Mid, and again Mid for entirely new possibilities.

Introduction

Hey there! I’m so excited to share this amazing product with you. This board is like a little piece of magic, taking the revolutionary Darkglass Tone Capsule Bass Preamp and putting all its tonal possibilities and flexibility into a compact, easy-to-assemble PCB.

Our innovative preamp is designed to keep your instrument sounding just as amazing as it always has, but with added options for you to explore and create your own unique sound. Say goodbye to boring traditional Bass-Mid-Treble controls and hello to the exciting world of the Bass Capsule with its Low, Mid, and Mid controls. Plus, the second mid-control can be adjusted to deliver a higher-end spectrum, giving you the clarity and definition of a traditional Treble control without any harshness or noise.

I was hooked from the moment I tried it and I know you will be too. I can’t wait for you to experience this unique preamp for yourself!
