Atelier Z M-Box Bass Preamp – Early Version
Why we love it
This outboard preamp version allows you to add Atelier Z’s famous crisp punch and attack to any passive bass. Excellent preamp for bass. The EQ circuit in the M-Box was designed by Mas Hino and is the same active circuit used in many of Atelier Z’s basses. Be aware that this early version (S/N 096) must be powered by a 9v battery and does not have a DC adapter jack.
Condition
This effects pedal is in Very Good condition. There are minor scratches and scuffs in the paint that do not impact sound or functionality. The original packaging is not included.
Manufacturer Description
The M-Box allows for treble boost/cut and bass boost. This model allows for intuitive sound creation and is easy to use.
