Paul Johnson recently shared this clip after upgrade the preamp in his friend Reece’s Pulse with an LHZ-05 Three-Band preamp. “Wired up my friend Reece’s LHZ-05 today in his EMG loaded pulse, had some advice from our very own Andrew so massive thanks to him for his input, needless to say one happy camper and the sound difference from the stock shitty TonePump is night and day!” Source: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1624955869008293
After installing the LHZ, I am seriously considering selling my Darkglass, because I simply don’t need it anymore. The LHZ alone gave me exactly what the pedal provided before. It’s strange to say, but my bass is a different instrument now.
The Bass Channel recently demonstrated our HL-1 HAZard LAMPS pedal! In this demo they conduct an A/B comparison of a passive Jazz against a Spector, run the HAZard LAMPS pedal at different settings, and talk through who this pedal actually makes sense for.

There is a lot of misinformation regarding the TonePump preamp shipped with some Spector basses. Let’s get to the science behind this divisive preamp!
In this video, we’re taking a departure from the usual preamp comparisons to do a quick comparison of the LHZ with 3 different pickups:
1. EMG P/J set: Active single-coil P/J set we all know and love!
2. Aguilar DCB: Passive humbuckers that are the stock pickups in the new Spector Icon models.
3. EMG HZ: Passive humbuckers that were the stock pickups in the Spector Rebop models.
In this video Fede takes us through the amps and signal chain he’s using on this tour. This rig is all about vintage analog tone and feel!
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…
