Internal Pre Amp (IPA)
The Trickfish Internal Pre Amp (IPA) is a high performance, low noise internal bass preamp system built upon two ideas – superior tonal flexibility and effortless installation. Sharing many of the sonic signatures found in our Flexcore line of preamps, the IPA delivers the same musical and transparent character as its older sibling. The shelving bass and treble controls and selectable frequency points for bass, midrange, and treble offer the ultimate in tone shaping capabilities.
Our simple plug connections allow for the addition of 2 or 3 bands of active EQ to your instrument without the need to solder. All EQ pots, toggle switches, and the output jack are prewired for an easy installation and the solderless screw terminals make input connections painless. The IPA’s small size (1.9” x 1.2”) circuit board is preinstalled with Velcro and was designed to fit virtually any bass.
FREQUENCY SPECIFICATIONS
Treble: +/- 15dB at 6kHz or 10kHz
Lo Mid: +/-12dB at 333Hz or 663Hz
Bass: +/- 12dB at 46Hz or 90Hz
IPA preamp kits include: Prewired 100K EQ pots, prewired active/passive toggle switch, prewired output jack, and (2) battery connectors.
*NOTE: The IPA requires soldering of a passive section, i.e., volume, blend, tone, etc. The active portion of the preamp itself is solderless. The push/pull active/passive upgrade is a 250k pot used for volume or tone. Please take the time to read the manual for a full overview.

"It's so crystal clear and punchy. It's the best sounding amplifier I've ever played through and that's no BS. It reminds me of being in a control room and hearing your bass through the Neve and some ATC300's. I'm stoked! It's great to have an amp that sounds like yourself, only a lot louder!"
Tim Landers
"Even though my primary focus is Latin Jazz, I'm called on to play a wide variety of music. I needed a rig to cover all the bases on both electric and acoustic and was blown away with the warmth, tone, and power of the Trickfish gear. I now have all the headroom I need to play dynamically. I can play music now and just forget about the amp - Trickfish is in another league!"
Rene Camacho
"It’s everything I was looking for - warmth, balance, punch and power. The sensitivity or speed of the amp is amazing and the dynamic range is so musical… It was such a relief to just let go and play music without thinking about the amp. I love it!"
