Hi,This is my first post so here we go
 I bought this pre-amp from a guy called Paul about 7 years ago.He use to run a reggae sound system called Mafia,then Ninja Studio and know its called Fifth Element sound.The Guy how built it is called Charlie and this was one of his first geneation Pre-amps.He bulit pre-amps for Aba shanti and Gemi magic and many other Reggae sounds.He also built the Destructor amps.I dont think he is building anymore just maintaining the gear.Does anyone use his amps or pre-amps????
Here is pictures of my Pre-Amps.
  Please post pics of your reggae pre-amps
Cheers.

Thats interesting! Theres a lot more going on than i would have thought. Can you show a picture of, or run through how you connect it? Do you mix the tunes with that using the deck 1 and 2 volumes? Does the "treble drive" knob actually distort the tops signal!??? and what in the world does the "squidly" knob do? last question ( i promise!) is whats the "MIDS" section with (1..2..3..4) knobs and "TOPS" with (1..2..3) all about? Cheers Alf |

Hey,Alf and Tre. When I bought the Pre-amp years ago it was blue without the writing so I sprayed it gold and stuck on on some letters.I did get some of the controls wrong with the lettering and just did not get round to changing it. Basically you can plug in 2 Bass,2Mids and 2 tops amps in the back.Mixing would have to be done with the the 2 deck volumes, But I use to plug in a very basic mixer just for the crossfade in the AUX port.This allowed us to mix tunes but did not alter the pre-amp frequencys.I never used the treble drive much as it did alter the tops signal and was meant to be used outdoors and was meant to give a more sharp sound and loud sound to the tops,sounded awfull inside but great outdoors.The squidly :) is connected to the tops section as when you turn it on and of it sounded like a sound effect or sign wave kind of sound (hard to explain)it was meant to be used just as a turn and and then off, not to be used permanently on. Ok,The mid section was meant to be 3 instead of four as shown.So the Mic stage 2 had 3 sections instaed of 2. Lastly I havent used the pre-amp in ages, its just hooked up to a system @ home.But when I switch it on it always brings a smile to my face as it sounds wicked especially as I am using a powerful amp and I have an ASS-RX18 with a PD-1850.. Hope this makes sence :) TRE-Is that one of Charlies pre-amps? Looks similar to one of the last ones he made.. Cheers........................... |

Posted these pics previously I think, but thought it'd be worthwhile adding them here for the pre-freaks. Nothing as original as trevs pics...
 Mostec 4-way...
 Lincoln 4-way Neither in my possesion now as I left the UK, but the mostec currently in action on the sound..
Determined that one day I'll resurrect this thread with pics of my own build...
Great thread, hope to see it grow..think most of us have seen only Tubbys/Mostec/Barracuda so good to see some others...
Also be nice to see some inside pics, but that might upset the builders some...

Ciscokid, as far as I know Lincoln is still at it, but he was never fully available and never was sure wether he really wanted business put his way or not.. I don't have current contact details as I'm away, but PM me if you want me to get hold of them.. It's a nice pre, and he gets wicked sound on bass and tops, but it always had a few too many features thrown in for my liking and ours was one of the first of a new design so had a few niggles and didn't look as tidy as mskeetes inside..(by a long way) Lincoln builds wicked amps also.. (Amp thread next up don't you think?) Mark..inspiring to see the art inside your units.. I reckon if I zoom in I can suss most of the circuits too (only joking...) well tidy...can't wait to hear ours when I'm back..

I posted a reply earlier but it seems to have disappeared...
yep, still using my own pcb program I wrote many moons ago in visual basic 4. Very easy to place components but the editing sucks. Last year I exteneded it again to add gerber and nc drill output files but it's time to move to a proper program now. I tried a few free ones but couldn't really get to grips with them so I'm taking a serious look at some commercial ones

| Emmsy,I am no expert but I think a mixer will not give the sound that I am looking for in a pre-amp.The heavy low frequency bass and the tops and the parametric eq and the kill switches.I am sure that you can gain all this by adding EQs bass enhancers etc etc to mixers but everything is in one package with a pre-amp.I dont think you are going to get super quality sound with a pre-amp but I dont really look for that when I play reggae music. |

| Why do none of these pre-amps have any kind of labels on the panels?! Seems crackers to me, but maybe that's because product design is one of the areas I work in. |
Posted By: Heathrow_B_line
Date Posted: 18 February 2008 at 2:48pm
|
Its like a kitchen, you already know where everything is. If you want a knife you go to the cutlery draw without thinking... you do not look for the label marked cutlery, then the label for knife [although this may help guests to your kitchen]
So once it is explained to you and you get used to it all starts to make sense... im used to a standard mixer type set up so i can never get used it pre-amps! But those that use them seem to function well in low light conditions as well, where labels wouldnt be legible anyway
|
Posted By: Wrighty
Date Posted: 18 February 2008 at 2:58pm
|
Yeah, but I know where everything is on (for example) an Allen & Heath GL2200. It doesn't stop them screen printing the panel though! Or is there an internationally agreed BS/EN/ISO standard for layout and colour coding of knobs and switches on reggae pre-amps?  |
Posted By: Heathrow_B_line
Date Posted: 18 February 2008 at 3:09pm
|
BSI cant sort out important standards for things like steel grades, i doubt they would make one for pre-amps!
Maybe you should try a JA code???
But on a serious note i think i have seen a few labeled pre-amps. The labels were the plastic strip punched with raised letters if you follow me.
Pre amps seem like a black art, having no lables on them adds to the mystery
|
Posted By: Wrighty
Date Posted: 18 February 2008 at 3:14pm
|
JA code - yeah, you could be on to something there! I remember those sort of labels - Dymo. I remember clicking stuff out on those years ago. We've got fancy electronic ones now for prototype stuff and one-offs and everything else is done on computer for screen printing... |

The preamp back in the day was a tool in the art of the clash all started with blue spot grams[blaunkpaunt] that had been modified to do something different than another mans blue spot from changing values of valves adding smoothing valves changing the tuner input to be a mic input and music mix this is where the so called black art of preamps came from so it was not likely that you wanted another man to know what you did to your blue spot so you covered the panels or made generic boxes for them [if the wife let you destroy the front room focal piece ] the next thing was to scratch all the title of records that you would play with and rename them what you wanted so another man couldn,t go to the shop and buy that tune after you killed him in a clash early clashes the rave went from house to house but you never bought you sound just records there was a lot of sculdugary in those days to get the biggest following . my point being no sound man worth his weight would tell you anything about his sound even in the event of your sound system being stolen they would get no helping hand in how to use it if stolen by marking inputs output and layouts most stolen preamps turn up years later to the maker or modifier tubbys does not mark the box he uses that sits above his pre/or tell you frequency of said items nor does john meyer but you likes it you buy it simple as you still cant ask most proper soundmen about his sound systems this is probably why regaee sound systems dont make good advertising material because the basically dont want you to know what they use ------------- IM SO SECRETIVE BUT I CANT TELL YOU WHY |

| Trev.. so the 10 band para is 10 indiuvidual sweepable bands with fixed boost/Q, or do the 10 graphic pots act as boost cut for each sweepable band? If it's the latter I can imagine it would be quite tricky to get a sweet response as even narrow band will interact alot when sepwt around and cut/boosted a fair bit. An octave band is not very wide for anything but a fairly narrow peak, which would not be so useful for tuning up the sound. |

its the latter and its only a problem if the circuit is not built right its shelf not sweepable ------------- IM SO SECRETIVE BUT I CANT TELL YOU WHY |
Posted By: jethrocker
Date Posted: 19 February 2008 at 2:20am
| don't get what you mean by shelf not sweepable? What do the lower line of pots do...change frequency? (that would be sweepable) The idea of 10 shelving sections in a row seems an odd opne..wouldn't that make a response like a flight of stairs...? |

Yes Trev, indeed, a little way different.. sorry to question if that upsets you, and sorry for being so stoopid but I still don't see exactly what adjustment the eq provides, seems your saying 10 sweepable bands with cut boost control on each one, could be very nice for precise adjustment I suppose if the bands were suitably narrow and the q just right, but I still didn't get the shelving bit..... Apologies once more, I'm just interested that's all and trying to understand whatever differences I see

| Lincoln Links passed away about two years ago,i never bought one of his pre amps as they were very expensive,we spoke quite often just before his death as i have one of his first parametric units.My first pre was an Elvins 'Starfire',then another Elvins with built in sound effects we then moved over to Jah Tubbys,currently using a MSkeete custom 3 way,and very pleased with it,sound quality excellent and would recommend,Most original sound men use pre amps with added bits,a lot of reggae systems now adays just use mixers and bass enhancers and those sort of things that don't represent reggae music,i'm staying true to the game. |

Greetings, The pre amp is very complete it mean that you can drive the sound like u want like in the studio , it's studio kality!!! never see this before , u have 1 deck, cd & line input ,3 mics, 3 effect send & return, it's a 4 stereo way out or 8 way mono out, there are 10q , 10 para control , 10 res control,10 gain control for each frequencies and also cut out for each freqencies in these graphic and u can sweep wich frenquencies u want.
The best pre amp that I ever seen. Trust me , It 's a special pre amp for my sound nobody could have the same. Ceck next session if u want to see it in action
 Nuff Hertical love & Raspect

Looking at the settings on the preamp i would hazard a guess that he may be running another set of subs only using the eq and bypassing the preamp.. Maybe? ------------- Rough Every Time... http://www.dubselector.co.uk - http://www.dubselector.co.uk |

Tek, this might seem like a silly question (I have no knowledge of reggae pre amps).
On a big unit like the one pictured above, how would you know (or remember) what all the knobs do? -------------
