Ā£499.00

Elevate your bass game with the CTM Little Stubby Preamp. In response to your requests, we've crafted an all-tube 1U rack/desktop preamp with a built-in headphone output. Plug in and instantly access incredible bass tones. While digital plugins have their place, it all starts with a great core tone, and that's precisely what our preamp provides.

This versatile preamp features both transformer isolated Pre and Post Di Outputs and an FX Loop, allowing seamless connection to an amp, FOH, or DAC. Its intuitive design combines traditional 'Bass, Middle, and Treble' rotary EQ controls with Volume, Drive, and a unique Feedback control. This combination effortlessly produces both contemporary and classic all-valve tones.

At the heart of this preamp lies the Feedback control, enabling you to fine-tune your tone from vintage warmth to modern mid-heavy richness. Coupled with the three-band EQ, the tonal possibilities are nearly limitless. The addition of an FX send and return ensures your favourite modulation and time-based effects integrate seamlessly.

The CTM Preamp also boasts a USB C recording output, perfect for connecting directly to your DAW. With a codec chosen for its low THD and SNR, it faithfully reproduces your bass tones. Discover a new era of bass mixing with the CTM Little Stubby Preamp by Ashdown.
