Fede Delfino Rig Rundown Part 1: Touring Basses

Tone Capsule vs LHZ Preamp Comparison
We’ve finally posted our comparison between the Darkglass Tone Capsule and the LHZ preamp. This is NOT intended to show one preamp as better than the other. Instead, the goal is to help players understand the unique EQ, dynamics, and harmonic response of each circuit design to be able to make a more informed decision. We all struggle to decipher marketing jargon and the subjective opinions of other players, so we do these video with the intent of objectively showing…
LHZ-05: 3-BAND Preamp
We are proud to announce that the long awaited 3-band version of the LHZ preamp has been released! The LHZ-05 combines our existing LHZ-04 (2-band preamp) and our MID-03 midrange module to provide a single-board 3-band preamp. This video walks through some of the new features of the LHZ-05 3-band preamp.
Troubleshooting: The Sound of Silence
Finished with your new preamp install, plugged in, and all you have is the sound of silence? No worries! This is almost always due to a missed or incorrect connection in the circuit.

Storytime: Why did QwikChord Disappear from the Internet in 2012?
QwikChord was a guitar chord diagram illustration tool that was first released as freeware in 2002 and became a retail application used worldwide by authors, teachers, students, and worship team leaders. We still receive email from clients, so we’ve decided to re-release the original QwikChord on the LHZ website. You find it here: https://lhzpreampshop.com/products/qwikchord
Throw Away The Soldering Iron!
One of the most common questions we receive is: “what do I need to do a solderless installation?” Over half of our clients install preamp upgrades with no soldering skills! Yet, there are some installation scenarios that require connecting existing wires to wires from the preamp kit. This video shows how a IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) can be used to splice wires without needing a soldering iron or special skills.

Getting Funky with a CST!!
Bassist Paul McFadden recently upgraded his Spector CST from the stock configuration (EMG X-series P/J pickups and Legacy preamp) to the LHZ preamp with the new MID-03 Midrange control and a set of EMG PJ (CS) pickups. The challenge was that while the stock configuration was great for his traditional rock band, he needed a warmer tone for his funk / groove band.
