Our iconic Internal Pre Amp (IPA) in a box. Perfect for passive or active instruments, our External Pre Amp (EPA) is designed to seamlessly dovetail with your existing sound, while offering the exceptionally voiced 3 band EQ that our IPA preamp users have come to find indispensable. Get the Trickfish onboard preamp sound without modifying your passive bass or add a studio quality preamp/EQ stage to your pedalboard before or after your FX chain for added tonal control. Like the IPA, users can choose from two frequency points per band. This is done via dip switches on the back of the circuit board. Shelving bass boost/cut can be configured at 40Hz or 80Hz, mid boost/cut at 330Hz, 375Hz, 430Hz, or 500Hz and shelving treble boost/cut at 4kHz or 8kHz.

"It's so crystal clear and punchy. It's the best sounding amplifier I've ever played through and that's no BS. It reminds me of being in a control room and hearing your bass through the Neve and some ATC300's. I'm stoked! It's great to have an amp that sounds like yourself, only a lot louder!"
Tim Landers
"Even though my primary focus is Latin Jazz, I'm called on to play a wide variety of music. I needed a rig to cover all the bases on both electric and acoustic and was blown away with the warmth, tone, and power of the Trickfish gear. I now have all the headroom I need to play dynamically. I can play music now and just forget about the amp - Trickfish is in another league!"
Rene Camacho
"It’s everything I was looking for - warmth, balance, punch and power. The sensitivity or speed of the amp is amazing and the dynamic range is so musical… It was such a relief to just let go and play music without thinking about the amp. I love it!"
