Tone Capsule B2M2 – Onboard Preamp with Dual Midrange Controls
The Tone Capsule B2M2 is a two-band preamplifier developed in collaboration with bassist Sheldon Dingwall. Both frequency bands are focused on the midrange and are compatible with most bass guitars.
Unique Tone Concept Without Treble Control
Unlike traditional preamps that feature bass, mid, and treble controls, the Tone Capsule B2M2 replaces the treble with a second midrange control. This design aims to preserve the natural character of the instrument while significantly expanding tonal possibilities.
Sheldon Dingwall proposed replacing the standard bass-mid-treble setup because he found it too conventional. The second midrange control operates at a higher frequency range, providing benefits similar to a treble control—such as increased clarity and definition—but with a more natural tone, free from harshness and noise.
