Studio Tone, Stompbox Size.
The Trickfish Minnow is the quintessential professional bass preamp pedal, putting the acclaimed low-noise Bullhead EQ section right on your pedalboard.
Designed for the bassist who demands maximum sonic clarity and surgical control, the Minnow ensures your instrument's true voice is flawlessly delivered to any amp or soundboard.
Whether you're looking for a high-quality bass DI pedal for fly dates, a transparent preamp to inject life into a backline amp, or a flexible tone-shaping tool, the Trickfish Minnow offers world-class performance in a rugged, compact enclosure.
Precision EQ and Uncompromised Signal
The Minnow is built to function as the foundational heart of your tone chain, offering exceptional fidelity in a portable format.
Surgical Tone Shaping
- 4-Band Precision EQ: This bass preamp pedal features a highly musical 4-Band EQ derived from the Trickfish Bullhead series. This includes flexible shelving for Bass (80Hz) and Treble (4KHz/8KHz selectable), alongside precision variable band-pass EQ for both Lo-Mid and Hi-Mid.
- Dial in the Mid-Range: The selectable mid-frequency controls for Lo Mid and Hi Mid provide the complete control needed to perfectly shape your presence in the mix—whether you need to cut muddiness or boost articulation.
- Low Noise Bass Preamp: Built with a professional, low noise bass preamp solid-state circuit, the Minnow maintains dynamic range and transparency, ensuring your signal is clean and true from input to output.
Professional DI and Live Utility
- Ultimate Bass DI Pedal: The essential Balanced XLR Output (DI) is perfect for live performance and studio recording. Crucially, the DI output is switchable between Pre EQ or Post EQ, allowing you to send either a pure signal or your fully sculpted tone to the FOH engineer.
- Silent Tuning: Includes a dedicated Tuner Out that remains active even when the amplifier's signal is muted by the footswitch. This key feature allows for silent tuning on stage.
- Footswitch Control: Features dedicated footswitches for Mute (for silent tuning/switching) and EQ On/Off, allowing you to bypass the tone-shaping circuit instantly for comparison or use it as a powerful tone boost.
Road Readiness
The Trickfish Minnow is built with a rugged steel chassis designed to handle the rigors of the road. Its compact dimensions make it an easy addition to any crowded pedalboard, and its lightweight build ensures easy transport.
