Rather than adding tube coloration or vintage-style saturation, Sarto delivers an exceptionally transparent signal path with enormous headroom and precise tone shaping. It enhances what is already there, preserving the natural voice of your bass while giving you complete control over how it sits in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Sarto is a studio-quality clean preamp, flexible EQ section, and professional-grade DI built into a compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. The uniquely voiced variable high-pass filter tightens the low end without making your tone feel thin, while the selectable EQ frequencies allow you to move effortlessly between vintage warmth, modern articulation, and everything in between. Whether you are performing live, recording direct, or using an upright bass, Sarto delivers clean gain with remarkable clarity and enormous headroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt entirely in Italy, the Sarto continues Jad Freer's philosophy of creating uncompromising tools for serious musicians. If you are looking for a transparent, studio-quality preamp that helps your instrument sound more like itself while giving you powerful tone shaping and an exceptional direct output, the Jad Freer Sarto deserves a place on your pedalboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"grey\"\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- TWO COLUMNS  --\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"container product-description-area-white\"\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- COLUMN 1 --\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns medium-down--one-whole product-description-two-columns\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnections:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop-mounted jacks and power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreamp:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltra-high impedance, low-noise clean preamp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGain:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUp to +16 dB of clean boost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- COLUMN 2 --\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns medium-down--one-whole product-description-two-columns\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- KEEP BREAKS FOR ALIGNMENT --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh-Pass Filter:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVariable from 5 Hz to 200 Hz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEQ:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelectable shelving frequencies for the Bass and Treble controls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnbalanced output and balanced XLR output\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePolarity:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDedicated polarity control affecting both the unbalanced and XLR outputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- START NO COLUMN DESCRIPTION WITH GREY BACKGROUND --\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-description-area-grey-grey-border-single-column\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONTROLS \u0026amp; FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUltra-High Impedance Clean Preamp:\u003c\/b\u003e The low-noise input stage features fixed gain, enormous headroom, and extremely high input impedance.
