The acoustic preamp everyone is talking about.
Studio Quality, Stage Friendly, 2 Channel Instrument & Mic Preamp / EQ / DI / Blender
“Man, FELiX sounds great! And it really helps because it eliminates
another piece of gear for me. Now, I have everything I need in a single
unit: the mic preamp for my acoustic bass, great EQ, and flexible I/O. It
works great for my electric bass too. Home-run! Killer!”
— John Patitucci, Solo Artist, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter
“I’ve been loving the FELiX. I feel that the pure tone of my banjo is
now coming through, and that nothing is degrading the sound along the
way. I would highly recommend it to those that can hear the difference!”
— Béla Fleck, Grammy Winning Instrumentalist and Composer
“After trying what seemed like every preamp on the market, I’ve
happily settled on the Felix for upright bass. Sounds amazing, is very
flexible and works better than anything I’ve tried...This thing is genius!”
— Mark Robertson, The Legendary Shack Shakers
“Congrats on making a great box. I’ve been hoping for something
of this caliber for years and years. It renders my pedal board of the last
several years obsolete and useless. It’s easy to use and sounds like I’d
hoped. Bottom line - this is the best preamp I’ve ever used.”
— Bryan Sutton, Six Time Winner of the IBMA’s Guitarist of the Year
