Today we take a look at the HL-1 HAZard LAMPS Pedal, which is designed to give you that classic “Haz” tone on the floor. This pedal was designed for players using Spector® basses (with EQ dimed) who need to use a passive bass for a few songs. The HL-1 allows a passive bass to have the same EQ, dynamic feel, and signature high-frequency overtones as a USA Spector® bass. No, it will not make a Fender® sound like a Spector®!…
We are excited to announce that we are getting to launch two new products: the LHZ-03 preamp and the much-anticipated HAZard LAMPS stombox. LHZ-03 PREAMP The LHZ-03 is a redesign of the LHZ-01 and LHZ-02 preamps that takes the last year of feedback from hundreds of clients to make multiple improvements. It’s smaller, easier to install, easier to fit into tight spaces. The best feature of all: no more needing to choose between a solder version or a pin header…
We just hit a milestone last week: the 100th LHZ preamp was built! To celebrate, we will select one of our existing customers to receive S/N# 100 completely free of charge to upgrade their arsenal, or choose to have it shipped to anyone of their choosing. The winner will be notified via the store account used to purchase their preamp, TalkBass forum account, or email if they have been in direct contact. We’ve chosen to do this as a quiet…

This month I’ve received an authentic HazLabs preamp and a KHaz preamp to used for circuit tracing to compare to the currently-shipping LHZ-01 and LHZ-02 bass preamps. I’m happy to report that the LHZ is a component-level match to the original Hazlabs preamp, with the only exception being that we use 100uF for the main power capacitor whereas the Haz uses a 33uF cap. (The power capacitor does not impact the audio circuitry: it is strictly to ensure steady 9-volt…
