Buc McMaster Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I've been reluctant to take my Schertler Yellow preamp to open mic stages because it requires 24V DC........meaning a wall wart (transformer to some, I guess). But I found a solution: the BIXPower BP90 rechargeable power supply. It can be set for 5V, 9V, 16V, 19V or......wait for it.......24V DC output! Hurrah! Always been a pain to drag AC voltage to the front of a stage, particularly at open mics where circumstances vary a lot. Rated for 96W/Hr (over 26,000ma/hr!) it's got plenty of operating time on a charge. Stack the preamp on top as shown, plug in the guitar and direct out to the PA.....voila! With this little thang I'll have absolute EQ control of a K&K equipped guitar, such as the J-45V. Very cool! This preamp is the same front end that's in my Schertler David Deluxe combo amp: 4 bands of EQ, a resonance control with switchable Q (dial out a low or low mids boom), low cut filter, phase inversion........even has 48V phantom power available and an effects loop. Reckon this setup will get a field test pretty soon....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Brilliant.. what will they think of next? Any one else find it odd that a pre-amp named YELLOW is in a BLUE box???? (It does look like the bomb tho... All I use is a Nano compressor, right into the board..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Cool idea! We don't want to ask the sound guy for a power point, is that what you mean? Turn up and play. I wonder if my Boss VE8 would work with it, supposed to be able to work with a handful of AAAs, but I use it at home in the power point. Though I would still need to ask the soundie if I can plug the 2 XLR leads into the PA. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
