The Electronic Audio Epxeriments The Bard Preamp pays homage to the Music Man HD130, a classic guitar amp known for its unique blend of a solid-state preamp and a tube power amp, delivering a rather unique tone.
Capturing the soul of these iconic amps, The Bard takes you on a sonic journey, ranging from pristine cleans to lively mid-gain, all the way to a robust gain that defies traditional tube characteristics – reminiscent of the original amplifier.
Equipped with Level and Drive controls, The Bard goes further with passive Low and High EQ controls, allowing you to sculpt your tone with precision. The addition of the Bright switch alters the character of the High band, providing a versatile palette of tonal options to enrich your guitar, bass, or other instruments.
