Description
The Bartolini TC5 is built for players who want more signal without more circuitry getting in the way. It’s a discrete preamp/booster designed specifically to complement medium output pickups, giving them the extra push needed to drive pedals, DI boxes, or long cable runs with confidence.
- Preset minimum gain of 6dB right out of the box
- Adjustable boost up to 40dB for serious level control
- Runs on a single 9-volt battery
- Discrete circuit design for a clean, transparent signal path
Because the gain range spans from a subtle 6dB nudge all the way to a hefty 40dB, the TC5 works equally well as a gentle output leveler or a full-on signal booster, depending on how you dial it in. It’s a straightforward solution for bassists whose pickups sound great but simply need more juice to compete on a busy stage or in a dense mix.
If you’re building or upgrading a bass with medium output pickups and want a dependable, single-purpose booster rather than a multi-band EQ preamp, the TC5 fills that gap cleanly. Simple wiring, one power source, and a wide gain window make it an easy addition to almost any passive-to-active conversion.
