Mozztronics BP-360 Bass Preamp Pedal

The BP-360 is based on the preamp circuit from a classic bass amp from the 1960’s (Acoustic 360 bass amp as used by Led Zeppelin, Jaco Pastorius & Larry Graham among others), we added our own touches, to enhance versatility, and included a DI out.
The actual Acoustic 360 amp had a built in fuzz, but there would have been too many controls to fit the whole amp circuit neatly inside a pedal, so we split the fuzz circuit off as a separate pedal with its own eq, the FZ-360. Combine the FZ-360 and BP-360 to get our version of this classic amp.

VOL is the master volume control.
We included the original preamp’s EQ to perfectly dial in the sound of your bass. BASS 30Hz. MID switchable 380Hz, 550Hz, 1.0kHz, 1.9kHz, 3.5kHz, TREBLE 4kHz
We included the preamps BRIGHT switch and we added a DI out with an Earth Lift switch, and an internal switch allowing you to select the function of the footswitch, BYPASS or MUTE.

While this circuit originally came from a bass amp, and while it is simply magnificent on bass, it sings on clean guitar direct to desk (funk anyone ?) and is superb on acoustic guitar adding a sparkle and jangle while making the sterile sounding piezo sound more natural . The 3 band EQ with semi-parametric mids lets you tone-sculpt your sound precisely.

Mozztronics uses the industry standard Boss style 2.1mm center negative 9V DC socket for the power supply connection.
