Tube Preamplifier in a Pedal-Sized Box!! | Arkham Oracle Preamp Bass Demo
Музыка
Arkham Sound is a small amplifier company based in Southern Maine, devoted to reanimating the sounds and workmanship of yesteryear.
The Arkham Oracle Preamp features a 12AX7 preamp tube selected for low noise and good tone, run at 300V B+ (not a starved plate design).
Standard version features two 1/4" TS Lo-Z outputs, Out 1 for normal use (power amp, interface, etc.). Out 2 may be used additionally to feed a DI box
DI version features one 1/4" TS Lo-Z output, and one XLR output. High quality Cinemag transformer, with Mu Metal shielding for ultra quiet operation.
Gain, Treble, Bass controls use a James Tonestack to provide a wide adjustment range with minimal interaction
Range control sweeps the tonestack "midpoint" anywhere between 150Hz and 1KHz
Hi switch adds a "bright cap" to the circuit to open up the high frequencies a bit
Mid switch provides a healthy bump around 250Hz
Lo switch another healthy bump, this time at 80Hz
HPF switch - Passive filter (-6dB/Octave) set at 100Hz
Master volume, dial back while boosting gain to add some grit

That is the best preamp I've ever heard! That is just awesome! Gotta have one!!
Sounds really good been looking for a really good tube preamp/di pedal size this seems to be the one !!
That thing is Spicy! I just bought a PF500 and 1x15 for that price, but it's a whole lot less portable. The Oracle would be great for gigging and recording.
okay, wow. im in to pedalboard friendly preamps these days. This thing is one of the best out there I heard in a while! Hope they ship to europe :o
Bought it love it sounds awesome
You should check the AMT "brick" pedals
Holy crap it even made the SG Bass sound good to me, that's awesome. (no knock to the player or even the model, I just don't usually dig the tone and for the first time I thought it sounded great)

I agree. I mean, I like the SG Bass but I get why people don’t. It was pretty easy to dial in some clarity with this preamp.

@@TheBassChannel Btw some offtopic. Who is that player at 8:19? Outstandingly groovy. I just want to hear him some more. All the rest are great too and preamp is amazing.
It sounds amazing! Also, deadly. lol
I would like to purchase Josh's fingers please. Mine don't work as well.

I really noticed that in this video. His right hand technique is incredible
I never used a roll off filter because of losing the sub harmonics a lot cheaper than the noble (about 1100 bucks) which is nice too
This is the shit i live for.

Mmmm Domination. Tasty riff
If you don't compare the preamp engaged vs bypassed, the demo is not helpful.

Hi... You said that this preamp recorded direct has the same sound result, character, etc with a Bass recorded Direct with an Ampeg 8x10 IR/CabSim? I'm seriously considering this preamp, but still unsure because I need that 'speaker' sound for when I'm playing with headphones/in ears. Thank you!
This sounds way better than that overpriced Noble preamp.
What's the point of making something like this, especially at this price range, but not including a DI out? It sounds great. Buts it's not going to replace my current pre that's less than half the price with a ton more features.

there is now an option either WITH or WITHOUT DI - about $150 difference in price
What was the red bass at about halfway after the girl with glasses

It’s a tube powered outboard preamp. Most outboard preamps have higher costs associated because of the components necessary to build them. Not to mention it’s not a typical stomp box… it’s a whole lot more than that.
So it can kill both you and your amp lol. I guess that's fittingly Lovecraftian.

I see what you did there!
the low switch should be centered at 40 Hz
@taylorhilyard8661

40 is too low, imo. 80 gives a nice feeling bottom end without being too muddy.
I'll pass. I heard no crunch.
Sounds kind of bland for $500.

My decades of gear experience finds it's to sound superb. Indeed sounds like a high quality bass tube preamp rather than just another pedal trying to emulate. I don't own one but I may now be seeking one out.
