Description

Whether your stock preamp is on the fritz, rocker switches aren't working or you're just tired of all that noise, Vintage Vibe has the solution for you. Our new preamp kit includes everything needed to replace your old Clavinet preamp with our brand new Vintage Vibe Preamp!

The Vibanet preamplifier boasts an ultra quiet noise floor, extremely versatile 3 band fixed EQ and a killer on-board auto wah that will take your funk to a new level. These design improvements not only allow for easily achieving classic clav sounds without the noise but present tons of new tonal opportunities as well.

Available for Clavinet models C, D6 and E7.

FEATURES:
• Active preamplifier with ultra quiet noise floor
• 3 band fixed EQ - Low, Mid, High
• Auto Wah Switch

FX LOOP (OPTION UPGRADE):

The FX loop options inserts a loop into the preamp for patching effects units. The loop is pre EQ and auto-wah.

The preamplifier has a healthy output level, quite close to line level, therefore when putting effects after the preamps output it is possible that depending on the EQ and volume settings that an effects unit could be overloaded into distortion. The FX loop was designed and located within the circuit in order to happily interface with most effects units.

The Clavinet Model C and D6 FX Loop upgrades WILL require modification to the piano case. Before purchasing, watch the installation video in the 'Video' tab above to see if this is an installation you are comfortable with. See instructions for routing template.

FAQ

Why does the volume increase when I turn on the auto-wah feature?

There is a slight level increase when the autowah circuit is engaged. This is a side effect created by the swing of the wah. During the design and testing stage we found that without a sufficiently wide swing the autowah did not get as funky as desired. The consensus between the play testers and design team was that the level bump was a worthwhile trade off for a better wah feature.
We've asked a lot of the folks who are using the preamp out on the road about this and the feedback has unanimously been that they simply work the volume pot if they feel they need to and after a short it has become second nature to them.
