Darkglass Electronics - Tone Capsule Bass Preamp System

This is my 7th Tone Capsule order. They are a great and versatile pre-amp. Highly recommended.

This is my 5th Tone Capsule purchsed via STL, so obvioulsy I'm very happy with this product. If you're considering buying one but aren't too sure, my recommendation is pull the trigger and do it. You won't be sorry.

I think this is my 4th one I've purchased through STL. I love these things. So far I've installed into 3 Warwick RB Streamers and it really accentuates that growl, and 1 into a Spector Legend (also replace the PUPs). As soon as they these are back in stock, I'll be buying another!

A great 3 band EQ. It's all personal preference, but I find having a Bass and 2 Mids better than standard BMT. Can't wait until these are back in stock, as I need more.

I was expecting good things from this as a Darkglass fan, but I was blown away by how excellent this preamp is. The EQ points are really well chosen - I was sceptical at first with the two mid range points but they have exceptional utility. The bass gives big heft as you’d expect but the low mid (500Hz) gets rid of honkiness in the classic Darkglass fashion, and the high mid accentuates grit and attack. I have not missed a treble control at all. I have this installed in a Stingray Special 5 and the preamp is significantly clearer and open compared to stock. I’d been fighting the tone of it for some time and the Tone Capsule let the natural tone shine through. Also, with three screw terminals no soldering of the preamp is required so install is painless.

Finally, shout out to Troy with the supremely quick shipping and top service as per usual.

Installed on my passive Rockbass Streamer Std 4 and it really took my bass to the next level without having to spend several thousand on a Warwick German made. Having Bass, High Mid and Low Mid, instead of traditional Bass Mid Treble allows you to offer up some excellent usable tones.
