Oh no, not Boss :D

Post by DiscoFreq »

With help from Sir HC (seller didn't ship outside the US) I could buy a Beckmen B-100 The Boss acoustic preamp.

A very little known pre-Roland Boss product that already has the modern Boss logo. It's in the Boss book and the Boss USA timeline:

I already had a dual transducer version (with "The Boss" transducers and all papers), but that one is nowhere to find.

This is just a guess, but probably some type of contact mic for since it's for acoustics?

Yes, those are the transducers, they had to be glued in the instrument.

I used them a few times by pressing them on the body and head of my bass (using glue clamps or something like that).
