I purchased this recently to use as a “poor man’s” Sesh 400 preamp after reading reviews here on the forum. Like many other bass amp products…it works very well for steel. Nice compact pedal with XLR out and sounds great with ample EQ capabilities including a mid shift. I no longer play out so it has less than an hour of playing time and never out of my music room. I’ve collected too much equipment, again! 
Still in new condition and comes with original box, manual, & correct Dunlop 9-volt power adapter. I paid $193 for the pedal & adaptor so asking $150 shipping included.
Thanks,
Dave 🙂

I have one of these. The tone stack and controls are a Session 400 and dead quiet. Excellent preamp pedal. Add a delay pedal, reverb pedal and a class D power amp and you have the smallest and lightest live performing or studio amp system. Perfect for air travel.

Thanks Dennis! Your review is the reason I purchased this preamp and it’s all you said it was. I’ve since purchased a real Sesh 400 along with some other preamps so trying to thin down some equipment, again! 
I’m currently using a Nux Atlantic for delay/reverb but also used the Zoom CDR-70 and Boss RV-3 into a Stewart half rack or Ganz straight ahead into a Webb cabinet with an original cone JBL K-130. All worked very well with the M-81.
