Bartolini TC1 Preamp

The TC1 preamplifier is designed to improve the performance of electric instruments by increasing the signal level, modifying the tonal quality with a wide range of options and decreasing the treble losses in the cable.

The TC1 preamp can be used in the un-boosted mode to provide equal amplification of all audio frequencies.

The boosted modes allow tonal changes ranging from simple treble boost to a midrange spectrum shaping specifically designed to overdrive amplifiers to their best distortion sounds.

These preamplifiers are hand made from discrete components (no IC’s) for very low noise levels, outstanding distortion characteristics and very long battery life.

They are rugged, reliable and easy to install and in most cases do not require modifications to the instrument.

Although we recommend shielding the control cavity for optimal performance, the internal shielding of these preamps will provide very low hum levels even in unshielded Installations.
