Good value for money
Works well for the price point. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the wiring diagram was a bit small to read. Otherwise, the tone is great.

Perfect Upgrade for My Bass
Installed this in my Jazz Bass copy and the difference is night and day. The bass boost is tight and the treble adds clarity without sounding harsh. Installation took about an hour.

Fast Shipping
Arrived earlier than expected. Packaging was secure. I haven't installed it yet but the build quality looks solid upon inspection.

Potentiometers feel loose
The circuit board works fine, but the pots included in the kit feel a bit cheap and loose. I ended up using my own CTS pots with this preamp.

Clear Tone
No noise floor issues here. I was worried about hiss but it is very quiet when not playing. The active signal is strong and drives my amp nicely.
Q: Is there a passive bypass mode if the battery dies?
A: No, this is a fully active circuit. If the battery dies, the signal will not pass through. We recommend using high-quality alkaline batteries.
Q: Will this fit into a standard Fender Stratocaster cavity?
A: Yes, the PCB dimensions are compact enough to fit into most standard Stratocaster control cavities without modification.
Q: Do I need special tools to install this?
A: You will need a soldering iron, solder, wire cutters, and a screwdriver. Basic electronics knowledge is recommended.
Q: Does the package include the 9V battery?
A: No, the 9V battery is not included due to shipping regulations. You will need to purchase one separately.
Q: What is the return policy if it doesn't work?
A: We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the unit is defective, we also provide a free replacement under the 12-month warranty.
