REVIEW
“The BP1 and BP1 Compact are superb bass guitar preamps: they deliver slightly different audio performances but both are of the highest quality and suitable for live and/or studio. (…) Powered up, both were essentially silent.
Playing bass through the BP1 for the first time was a revelation, the pedal delivering a crisp, clear definition to every note, most notably in the bass and low midrange, without ever sounding harsh. The Compact delivered the same clear definition and gain‑driven saturation.
The Caveman Audio BP1 and BP1 Compact are both superb bass preamps that deliver sonic performances which completely justify their price.”

BP1 DETAILS
With the built-in transformer balanced, studio-quality DI, you will no longer have to use low-quality DI’s at venues that make your bass sound dull, 2 dimensional, and uninspiring.
This is a no-brainer pedal with only Gain and Level controls. Simply plug your bass into BP1, trim the Gain and Level to fit your taste, and experience the mind-blowing tone this unit has to offer.
We added a switchable audio loop in case you use additional stompboxes or other external equipment to make sure the sound of BP1 is never compromised.
The Radio/Wireless input and all outputs use custom-made audio transformers. In general, only the finest components are used in this stellar preamp design.
To make life even easier for you, we designed the BP1 with a power supply that will work anywhere on the planet.
TECH SPECS
BP1 SIGNAL PATH
The BP1 features the famous Input Buffer that we have used in our Custom Shop Systems for years. The main function of the Input Buffer is to make your bass guitar sound as if it was connected directly to your amp.
When you use the loop of the BP1, your bass guitar will not be loaded incorrectly from your stompboxes, it will still “see” the Input Buffer.
“This is a basic version of our BAS1 Bass Preamp System – with a switchable loop to isolate your additional stompboxes.”
