Description & Condition
They specialize in tube amplifiers and preamps, and also produce effects pedals, all manufactured in Japan.
A key feature is their practical design, made possible by their willingness to handle repairs and modifications.
The A1FD pro MARK II For Bass is a tube preamp released in April 2026.
While inheriting the sound concept of previous models, it boasts improved operability and expressiveness.
Equipped with two selected 12AX7 tubes, it drives the tubes at a high voltage.
It achieves a balance between the warmth of a vintage amplifier and a wide-range, clear sound.
The EQ has three bands: TREBLE, MID, and BASS.
The CROSS control has also been changed from a switch to a continuously variable type.
By moving the point where TREBLE and BASS intersect, you can fine-tune the balance of the frequency range and the separation of sounds.
As a feature unique to the For Bass series, it includes a PAD switch and a TONE MODE switch.
Using the "NEAR FLAT" setting in TONE MODE as a baseline makes it easier to create a natural sound with minimal mid-range dips, close to flat.
The true value of this unit lies in its comprehensive features designed for professional use.
In addition to unbalanced outputs, it is equipped with balanced outputs via XLR and phone connectors.
Because it can be sent directly to PA systems and recording equipment, you can deliver the same tube sound anytime, regardless of whether an amplifier is available.
The GND LIFT switch helps prevent noise caused by ground loops, and the MUTE switch is useful for tuning between songs or switching instruments.
It's great that all the necessary functions for live performance are neatly integrated into one unit.
The effects loop, which goes through the vacuum tube, can be adjusted using the SEND and RETURN levels and BALANCE VOL.
You can integrate your existing effects pedals into your system without compromising sound quality.
Power is supplied by a DC 9V adapter compatible with 100V-240V. This amplifier can be used in the same environment regardless of voltage, even when performing or touring overseas.
It's reassuring to know that it's manufactured in Japan by ALBIT, a company that handles everything from the manufacturing to the repair and modification of amplifiers and preamps.
The company also publishes review videos by professional bassists, demonstrating their commitment to quality that meets the ears of professionals.
This is a highly recommended amplifier for professionals who want to carry their sound with them to any venue—live performances, recording sessions, and tours.
It is delivered after rigorous inspection by GIB's craftsmen.
