Designed by the legendary recording engineer and console designer, Professor Malcolm Toft, the Bassics BPA 01 Preamp Pedal brings studio-grade sound to your pedalboard. With a rich history that includes mixing The Beatles’ “Hey Jude” and recording David Bowie’s Space Oddity album, Toft’s expertise ensures the BPA 01 delivers unparalleled tone. Ideal for both stage and studio, this pedal boasts vast headroom, a quiet operation, and musical tone control, making it perfect for bassists seeking clarity and precision.
 
The BPA 01 features dual inputs—one with an impedance switch for high-impedance pickups like piezo for upright bass use—along with a level control for each input. The front panel’s illuminated rotary controls provide easy visibility, even on dark stages, and can be bypassed when not in use. Additionally, studio-quality pickup amplification and metering ensure optimal output levels, while the 3-band sweep EQ lets you fine-tune your tone with 15db of boost or cut per band. A built-in compressor adds further tonal shaping, and the unit’s DI output ensures compatibility for any setup.
Made in the UK with an incredibly durable cast aluminum case and internal power supply, the BPA 01 is built to last and will work anywhere in the world.
