Bass Preamp Rack format 1 U
Quality and robustness of the whole, handmade in the United States (it should be highlighted)
Knobs very sturdy, and very reactive and sensitive.
Ability to enable / disable the equalizer RBI via a button "Active" on the front.
For the rest, everything is already said below.

UTILIZATION

Config super simple, I found my happiness level setting half an hour, no need manual.
I use XLR connected on a track mixer Yamaha MG16 / 6 FX, which is connected to a HK 600.
In summary, the sound I use power amp.

SOUND QUALITY

So there, what slap!!
I still wonder why this device is not better known!

When I see many bassists lug between 20 kg and 60 kg of equipment because they love their sound, I invite them to try this little camera of 2.5 kg.

If you enjoy a powerful bass sound, warm and "purring" you will not be disappointed! Honestly I have almost nothing to envy of the most famous bass amplifiers and expensive as the amp emulations are quality.

I personally use it with a Cort A5 equipped with Bartolini MK1, and I can tell you that for nothing in the world I would not change now.
I play mainly rock / metal and it is perfect for this style, I get a slightly "distortion" pile that I wanted. So, no need to add effects for the moment at least.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two weeks now, and I'm literally conquered. I tried the Marbass (little mark 2), Fender, Ashdown, Laney, GK, etc ... and I assure you that surpasses RBI considering its value for money UNBEATABLE. It is a device that I recommend is a MUST HAVE in my opinion essential.
I would do this choice without flinching.
