3B three band preamp specifications;

Overall gain is +/- 10db by a trim pot on the circuit board

Bass +/- 12db @ 50hz

Treble +/- 12db @ 4khz

Midrange +/- 12db@1khz with no external capacitors. Add two capacitors as indicated in the table to change the frequency.

Capacitors are stocked for even numbered frequencies and will include one set with each preamp for a second frequency of your choice. Battery life is estimated to be around 180 hours for an alkaline 9v. Adding a battery to make it 18v will give more headroom and longer life.

All preamps come prewired (except the 3B) and include a jack socket and a battery clip as well as instructions on where to connect the pickup leads. There will also be wiring instructions available for pickup switching options, but these are not available as part of the prewired preamp because of the logistics of having such a large number of possibilities.

2B - Two band preamp, Fixed bass and treble, adjustable high end response switch that This gives the bass either; a traditional growly or a smooth/glassy "Marcus" style high end response. There is also a trim pot for output level. All come prewired except the 2B.
