Custom Vintage Vibe Stereo Vibe Pre amp for Fender Rhodes pianos:
Updated version of the famous 4 pin Fender Rhodes Peterson design.
Lead time of 2-3 weeks.
Our new unique pre amp runs on 24 volt power 4 pin configuration din.
LDR Tremolo designed to operate like the original Incandescent bulbs of the classic Peterson, not like the later sterile LDR sounding pre amps, ours rise and fall with a cats eye wave form just like a bulb would.
We have created the original CTS pots unique to the Peterson design only we have created a cooler update on ours, instead of a pull on switch for the vibrato, ours is a cool push on/ push off.
We also have updated the stereo panning of the limited pan rate on the Peterson, with our new design we have implemented another push on/push off switch into the tone controls, which allows you to switch into a slower pan, much slower than any Peterson pre amp ever could go.
We have also updated our new pre amp with the opportunity to run it stock straight as "Peterson style" with the exact same characteristics as the original or with an on board switch you can now run the pre amp in our F.E.T channel which is a much warmer sound than the original. It's our new F.E.T-ish
We have also install 3 - L.E.Ds on the board which operate as test points for service work. If you are missing say the green led or if it is dim, you know your 24 volts is going or gone. if one or both of the red L.E.D's are dim or gone, you have blown a driver transistor or oscillator. So as you can see with our design, repairing the unit becomes very easy. Also, the Red LED's flash in sequence with the Stereo tremolo.
The sound of the pre amp is awesome!
