Dual Channel Blackface-style Preamp for Bass Guitar edit / delete

Clone (sort of) of the Alembic F-2B, a rackmount version of the classic Fender preamp and tone stack. The Alembic remains absurdly expensive so this might be an interesting project... although I'm really not convinced about the safety of his PSU arrangement! (You'd have to do something different for 240V anyway, e.g. two transformers back to back.)

Ashbory Bass Schematic edit / delete

The preamp for the Ashbory bass. Nothing remarkable, except that it includes a sensible-looking tone control circuit that'd probably be worth cloning for my little amp.
