TRILOBITE
Dual Channel Bass Preamp / DI Pedal
The Trilobite is an extremely flexible, high quality dual channel preamplifier paired with routing options required for modern gig setups. The Bullhead EQ section allows for a broad range of tone control including shelving EQ’s for the Bass and Treble controls and variable band pass EQ’s for the Lo Mid and Hi Mid. A parallel and series effect loop, along with two direct outputs, make the Trilobite ideal for the stage or studio. Whether it’s in a pedalboard setup or standalone, you’ll have the most versatile setup possible no matter where you are.

- Flagship Bullhead EQ: Studio-quality 4-band EQ for precise, ultra-clean tone shaping.
- Pro Signal Routing: Dual XLR outputs to send separate pre- and post-EQ lines to the house mix and monitors.
