About Bass Preamp Pedals
Bass Preamp Pedals are a great way to get a great bass guitar tone without using a bass amp. There are lots of situations where a preamp bass pedal can be a great choice - whether it's recording without the need for a microphone, playing a show where taking an amp is prohibitive, or simply a way to get great tone for headphone practice.
Lots of bass preamp pedals such as the MXR M81 and Ampeg SGT-DI even feature a DI output to make it super easy to plug into an audio interface or mixer.
A bass preamp pedal is not just an alternative to an amplifier, but many bassists will use an amp and DI'd preamp simultaneously to create an even bigger tone.
Why Should I Choose a Bass Preamp Pedal?
- Cheaper and smaller than an amp
- Great for recording
- Classic tones from well-known manufacturers
- Easy to integrate into pedalboard for a compact gigging setup
