HL-1 HAZard LAMPS Manual
The HL-1 HAZard LAMPS pedal gives passive basses the same punch and power as a USA Spector bass with an internal Hazlabs preamp.
While it is so simple that it really doesn’t need a manual, we made one anyway!
Brother Cane “If This Means War”
It’s been 28 years, and “If This Means War” comes out of the gate showing zero restraint! Where some bands mellow with age, Brother Cane has sharpened their tools and bring a focused energy and drive to their signature sound. Bassist Glenn Maxey took his Spector Euro with LHZ into the studio, and this song shows it off well!
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.
Fede Delfino tone demo on “What’s Left Of Us” by Magnetico
Fede Delfino took a little time between tour dates to record a playthrough of “What’s Left Of Us” by Magnetico using his Spector Euro LX that he’d recently upgraded with LHZ Preamps.
Wireless Transmitter Noise Remediation
SYMPTOMS: You are experiencing unusual noise when a wireless transmitter is used. The noise can be anything from static, hiss, high-frequency whine, pops, clicks, dropouts, or audio fading in and out.
CAUSE: Wireless transmitters that use a 3-conductor TRS plug can cause noise issues.
Legacy vs LHZ Preamps
We’ve had several users report that the new Legacy preamp is somehow slightly darker sounding than the Hazlabs on their NS2, and ask if the LHZ preamp would resolve that. One client shipped us their Legacy preamp so we could conduct testing to compare the Legacy to the LHZ.
