Jad Freer Capo multi effects bass pre amp-preorder for July shipping

                         WIDE RANGE OF CLEAN & SATURATED MUSICAL SOUNDS IN ONE PEDAL

The Jad Freer Audio CAPO bass preamp, or Multiple Preamp - DI - Saturator - FX Loop, as we like to call it .It is capable of studio-grade clean sounds up to heavy saturation with full frequency response, passing through endless overdrive flavors with dynamics and harmonic content, while keeping your instrument’s natural low-end presence & articulation.

Four different preamps in a single box and endless routing possibilities in a pedalboard-friendly format. A sound with very complex texture and natural feel. An engine that is designed to be the center of your pedalboard universe.

A SIDEThe core of the machine, based on three very different preamps that can be used in parallel to achieve unheard-of unique sounds.The base of the A-Side is a clean high impedance preamp, with fixed gain and lots of headroom; it improves the tone of the instrument, enhancing its character without altering it.
Two high dynamic range saturators (J, F) can then be mixed to the clean preamp using the BLEND control. The mix ratio between J and F can be changed as well using the STYLE control: in central position N you get the neutral balance between them and, at the same time, the range of sounds that defines the A-Side tone the most.
No clipping diodes are used in both saturators, thus providing a dynamic feeling comparable to a real amplifier... not just an ordinary stompbox!

J and F share GAIN and LEVEL controls and both have a lot of clean headroom before saturation, while they differ strongly in their sonic focus:
•             J Saturator: Huge bottom, aggressive highs that brings the note attack upfront in the mix
•             F Saturator: Great midrange character with a more vintage vibe
•             Both together complement each other perfectly at noon (N) of the STYLE control.

The concept of this side of CAPO is to mix a flat response sound with two complementary amp-like tones (running in parallel and mixed as well), to obtain an extremely complex and articulated texture while keeping the maximum frequency and dynamic response.

A three band eq allows you to further sculpt the blended sound you create:
•             BASS: ±12dB@80Hz (Shelving)
•             Semi-parametric MID: ±9dB@100Hz-10KHz (Band pass)
•             HIGH: ±12dB@4KHz (Shelving)
•             DEEP and BITE switches provide a perfectly tailored bottom end boost and just the right

amount of string attack.

B SIDETube-like tone preamp.Side B is a linear response FET preamp with dedicated volume and gain controls. It is reminiscent of some classic tube preamps and has a dynamic range that goes from clean to various saturation stages with a smooth, natural response.
It can be used as a standalone preamp as an alternative to the A-Side, or it can work in series with it choosing the order with the PRE / POST switch:
•             PRE allows it to be used as a gain boost, to push the saturation of the A side to higher levels while keeping definition and dynamics
•             POST allows it to be used either as a simple volume boost available at your feet, or as a preamp base to build your own sound, then using the A-side as an additional gain stage or clean EQ.

Routing & Other FunctionsStudio Ready and pedalboard friendly.CAPO has been designed to be a studio-ready machine and also to provide less effort and better interaction when used with your existing pedalboard and signal chain.
Great attention was paid to routing possibility and functionality for live and studio applications:

Multiple DI:
•             DIRECT OUT: provides the natural sound of your instrument without any preamp stage
•             PREAMP OUT: balanced signal after all the pedal preamps, eq and loops
•             phase control for the DIRECT OUT to realign PREAMP OUT phase in case you are using other pedals that flip the phase .

LPF:
•             a low pass filter (means a treble cut) carefully designed & thought out, to cut out all the nasty frequencies at high gain levels, useful with full-range sound systems (going to a P.A. or with tweeter equipped bass cabs)
•             it affects both PREAMP OUT and OUTPUT when using the A Side, B Side and also when the pedal is bypassed (ie. when the switch is on, it’s ALWAYS on) a useful feature.

Loop effects:
•             LOOP PRE: a passive send-return loop before the pedal preamps, for whatever pedal you want to use before the CAPO (while keeping your unprocessed natural bass sound from the DIRECT OUT)
•             LOOP POST: a send-return loop after all CAPO preamps, for whatever pedal you want to use after them while affecting both PREAMP OUT and OUTPUT. This loop can be always active or linked to the A Side with the switch LOOP LINK.
