Atelier Z M-Box Bass Preamp – Built and signed by Mas Hino

Why is it special?

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. The example in this listing was hand built and signed by Mas Hino inside the case. Be aware that this early version (S/N 015) must be powered by a 9v battery and does not have a DC adapter jack.

This outboard preamp version allows you to add Atelier Z’s famous crisp punch and attack to any passive bass.

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 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.
