HBP-1 H Series Bass Preamplier User’s Guide
The H Series Bass Preamplier by James Demeter uses the same all tube front end found in his clas-
sic VTBP-201S Bass Preamplier and combines it with the revolutionary H Series circuitry found in his
professional audio H Series line. This preamplier provides the best of both the tube and solid state
world. It features high voltage (250V) tube front end (providing all of the preamplier gain and passive
tone controls), a two band solid state fully Parametric Equalizer that is tuned for bass, a fully adjustable
active eects loop with controls up front, a tuner output, a full balanced output with switchable micro-
phone or line level, both a balanced TRS line level output and an unbalanced line level output for ampli-
er connections, and a mute switch. As with all Demeter equipment it is meticulously hand wired, using
the nest components and assembled in the U.S.A.
