BUILD A
TONE
MONSTER!
SBK-2
Balance ~ Volume ~ Treble ~ Bass
If you've been looking for the punch, power and tones available with an active preamp the
TONE
MONSTER
SBK Series
has a model ready to install in your new build or existing instrument. Manufactured in South Korea, they feature an advanced
Surface Mount Technology (SMT)
design minimizing the cavity space required along with top quality components
and meticulous soldering ensures noise free performance
for a
superior tone to dollar value!
With 8 configurations (3-5 potentiometers) to choose from and a +/- 12dB range for either
2 (treble/bass) or 3 (treble/middle/bass) bands of equalization they will make your passive pickups sing
!
Pre wired and ready to install, other features include a frequency shift or Hi/Lo mids toggle switch option (SBK-3A/AD), a
NO SOLDER
terminal block for pickup connection
(neck~shared ground~bridge)
and brass shaft potentiometers for smoother control and longer life.
Installation is typically a breeze - connect your pickups
and solder the bridge ground to the back of the volume potentiometer. For single pickup or pickup selector switch applications simply remove the balance potentiometer and wire direct.
The
SBK Series
circuit board is only 25D X 30W mm so it takes up minimal cavity space however since a potentiometer is mounted on the circuit board a
minimum cavity depth of 1 ¼” (32mm) is required
.
The
SBK-A
models reduce the number of potentiometers by combining functions with a concentric or "stacked" potentiometers.
Powered by a 9V alkaline battery (not included) the circuit can handle up to 18V (2-9V in series) for increased headroom. We offer DIY power upgrades including the
BAT-1
(18V) or
BAT-2
(9 or 18V switchable). Also available is the DIY
PAT-1
, passive/active toggle switch, which functions as a bypass and allows for volume control in the passive mode.
We suggest using pickups with similar outputs, either magnetic or piezoelectric, but not both together since the balance (blend) function is passive. Also, our preamps were designed for use and work best with passive pickups.
