 Sfx SP2 preamp. I found some previous posts on this but thought I'd mention it anyway. I bought an SP2 off Andy here in Australia some months back , but I'm finally putting it to service. In short as said before, clean , responsive, headroom and just a cool little box. After this morning Its going on the board. I notice from past posts also that only great things have been said about Max & his Sfx custom products from the UK. Worth a look. Pic below. B

Re: Sfx SP2 preamp. Just got one of these, also. Proving to be a handy little box.

Re: Sfx SP2 preamp. I purchased one as well for use with my PASV-4. The unit is an "always on" type pedal, which makes sense, and is quite compact. It makes use of a TRS input and has the option to support either a summed mono out OR can support a TRS to dual mono out. Handy. I can see why Bruce likes these for his travel board. I'm overdue for a StepAbout, so that's what I am saving up for these days. Until then, the SP2 is a simple, compact and well made alternative.

Re: Sfx SP2 preamp. Bought one about a year ago. Love it!!! Don't know if you're doing it, but I plugged the mono out to a tuner and I can tune both sides with it.

And all of a sudden I feel really stupid. Why didn’t I thought of that????? Lol! Thank, that is a great idea! Bruce, if anything, I’de buy another one, just to have a spare! The coloration it ads to the stick natural tone is wonderful with both the railboard and the stickup. Cheers Rod Enviado do meu iPhone usando o Tapatalk

It probably has something to do with being a fundamentally bad person. At least that's what the voice in my head tells me on a daily basis...got top people working on that

Re: Sfx SP2 preamp. How does this work? I see one jack input, and two jacks for output. For input, do you just input the melody side of the stick? If I wanted both melody and bass, how do I connect it to the box?

If I wanted both melody and bass, how do I connect it to the box? Input is stereo, both sides of the stick go thru that. Then it splits inside and you can EQ and volume each side individually. Two outputs, one is stereo (Mel and bass separated) the other one is mono, Mel+bass combined. Enviado do meu iPhone usando o Tapatalk
