Darkglass Tone Capsule Bass Preamp System

Active Bass Preamp System with 3-band EQ and 9V/18V Operation

Active 3-band EQ for Your Bass Guitar

Expand the sonic range of your electric bass guitar, with the Darkglass Tone Capsule bass preamp system. Instead of a typical bass/mid/treble EQ configuration, the Tone Capsule system offers bass/mid/high-mid tone shaping, each with a +/-12dB range. The bass control is centred at 70Hz for low-end power, while the mid control centres at 500Hz for midrange growl and punch. The high-mid control is centred at 2.8kHz, allowing you to enhance presence and articulation without adding noise or unwanted highs.

Darkglass Tone Capsule Bass Preamp System Features at a Glance:

  • Active preamp system for electric bass guitar
  • Ample tone-shaping opportunities from the 3-band EQ (Bass 70Hz, Mid 500Hz, High-mid 2.8kHz)
  • Hi-mid control allows you to add presence and articulation without boosting noise or unwanted highs
  • +/-12dB range on tone controls
  • Can be powered by one or two 9-volt batteries (not included) for 9-volt or 18-volt operation

    Excellent

    Posted by Logan Andrew on 2nd Mar 2023

    This is my 5th Tone Capsule purchsed via STL, so obvioulsy I'm very happy with this product. If you're considering buying one but aren't too sure, my recommendation is pull the trigger and do it. You won't be sorry.

    Fantastic

    Posted by Logan on 31st Jan 2023

    I think this is my 4th one I've purchased through STL. I love these things. So far I've installed into 3 Warwick RB Streamers and it really accentuates that growl, and 1 into a Spector Legend (also replace the PUPs). As soon as they these are back in stock, I'll be buying another!

    Versatile

    A great 3 band EQ. It's all personal preference, but I find having a Bass and 2 Mids better than standard BMT. Can't wait until these are back in stock, as I need more.

    Exceptionally usable, fantastic tone

    Posted by Tony Watson on 14th Jun 2020

    I was expecting good things from this as a Darkglass fan, but I was blown away by how excellent this preamp is. The EQ points are really well chosen - I was sceptical at first with the two mid range points but they have exceptional utility. The bass gives big heft as you’d expect but the low mid (500Hz) gets rid of honkiness in the classic Darkglass fashion, and the high mid accentuates grit and attack. I have not missed a treble control at all. I have this installed in a Stingray Special 5 and the preamp is significantly clearer and open compared to stock. I’d been fighting the tone of it for some time and the Tone Capsule let the natural tone shine through. Also, with three screw terminals no soldering of the preamp is required so install is painless. Finally, shout out to Troy with the supremely quick shipping and top service as per usual.

    Next Level

    Posted by Logan on 30th Jul 2019

    Installed on my passive Rockbass Streamer Std 4 and it really took my bass to the next level without having to spend several thousand on a Warwick German made. Having Bass, High Mid and Low Mid, instead of traditional Bass Mid Treble allows you to offer up some excellent usable tones.
