The Sadowsky SBP-2 Outboard Bass Preamp Pedal contains the same famous circuit built into every Sadowsky bass.

Housed in a small footpedal box for use on the floor, it is really compact and will fit into any pedalboard.  Just plug your bass into the box and then go from the box to your amp.

Controls consist of volume, treble boost, and bass boost.  There's a footswitch to bypass the preamp bypass.  There's a low battery indicator LED in case you use it with batteries

The Preamp is perfect for vintage basses where installation of an onboard preamp would affect the instrument’s original condition and resale value.  The Preamp pedal is recommended for all passive basses, basses with active pickups, and instruments that have active electronics that can be bypassed.  It also works great with all upright bass pickups.
