Description
The Transit B takes Trace Elliot’s signature tone-shaping DNA and packs it into a pedalboard-friendly box built for working bassists. This isn’t a stripped-down mini preamp — it’s a genuine tone-shaping rig with the Pre-shape switch delivering that unmistakable Trace Elliot EQ curve, a 5-band semi-parametric EQ for surgical tweaks, and a dual-band compressor to keep your low end tight without squashing the attack.
Need some grit? The Drive control comes with a blend knob so you can dial in exactly how much dirt sits under your clean signal, and it’s footswitchable for instant on/off during a set. There’s also built-in bass enhancement to thicken up your tone when a track calls for more weight. Running passive or active pickups? A dedicated switch handles that instantly, no fumbling with input trim.
Practical touring features matter here: the backlit control panel doubles as a chromatic tuner, so you can tune silently on a dark stage. Routing is covered from every angle with Pre and Post balanced XLR outputs (with ground lift), line level, instrument level, and dry outputs, plus an aux input and headphones output for silent practice.
