Bartolini TCT Vintage 3-Band EQ Preamp Module (TCT-B), Low Gain

TCT-B is a low gain version of the legendary original Bartolini on-board preamp for use with high-output passive pickups. It features Bass, Mid, and Treble controls with very low noise and wide adjustment range. It has vintage FMV (Fender™/Marshall™/Vox™) frequency controls so each band affects the others and if all bands are set to minimum, the output is muted. This active tone control has the same tonal response as the early Fender™ amplifiers with Treble-Bass-Presence controls. An MCT mid boost module can be added for boost of the mid for full 3-band control. They include a boost signal that can be used by professional guitar technicians to further increase the output gain or shape the frequency response. Because they rely on electrical current feedback for amplification, the tone is very well suited for high-output guitar setups. The TCT-B delivers very satisfying frequency-phase shift and asymmetric tube-like distortion when overdriven. Like all of our preamps, the TCT-B is internally shielded to reject electromagnetic noise and includes internal filters to block AM and FM radio on the input. Bartolini set the standard of fully sealing the sensitive electronics. We use professional double tin plated pure copper wire with durable semi-rigid insulation. This ensures the 5" pre-stripped wires don’t flop around in the cavity and the wires don’t cut through the insulation over time.
