EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Preamp

EBS Stanley Clarke Signature Acoustic Preamp. Precision-crafted for upright bass and beyond.

Co-designed with bass legend Stanley Clarke, this 2-channel preamp delivers studio-quality tone, unmatched filtering, and smart flexibility for acoustic instruments—especially upright bass.

Professional-Grade Performance:

Runs at console-level for superior headroom and clarity

Optimized to handle the complex tone of upright bass

Built with premium components for maximum fidelity

Dual Channel Power:

Independent EQ with sweepable mids, bass & treble

Switchable High-Pass or Notch filter per channel for feedback control

Blend or toggle channels—ideal for mixing pizzicato and arco styles

Flexible Inputs:

Works with passive, active, and piezo pickups (10 MΩ impedance)

Channel A supports Electret pickups; Channel B accepts 48V phantom-powered mics or ¼″ inputs

Phase Inverter on Channel A to address blending phase issues

Connectivity & Utility:

XLR out with speaker sim, ground lift, and FOH-ready signal

Effects loop, tuner out, aux in, and pro-grade headphone out

Use in serial or parallel FX mode with a Y-split insert cable

Note: Early units have always-on phantom power—avoid passive ribbon mics via XLR

Also ideal for other acoustic and electric instruments. Electric bassists benefit from two EQ setups and seamless instrument switching on stage.
