Like new Freeloader for sale.

I'm using a Revelation pre-amp and no longer need it.

Here's a description of what it does from Brad Sarno:
It's really not the same as a Goodrich 7A. While both are transistor buffers with a low impedance output that can drive lots of cable and pedals without tone-loss, the tone control aspect is what sets them apart. The FreeLoader is named as such because it gives you a free range of control over the "loading" of the pickup. When you control the load of a magnetic pickup, the pickup itself becomes an integral part of the tone circuit. It's not like the Goodrich's capacitor (guitar type) tone control. It's different in that the FreeLoader can actually give you quite a bit of control over the pickup's inherent "resonant treble peak". You can make the pickup very warm and fat with a flatter response, or you can make the pickup sharp and peaky and twangy if you want. Imagine the sonic difference you hear when you plug a pickup into a Hilton pedal compared to a pot pedal. That's an example of the change in treble peak response from two different loads on the pickup. The knob on the FreeLoader lets you sweep thru a HUGE range that will go well below that of a pot pedal and all the way up to that of a Hilton pedal. You have that entire range to find the desired response. This also enables you to free up your amp's tone controls for more flexibility and to address other issues like speaker tone and room tone.


SOLD !!
Thanks Nathan
