EMG BQC vs HazLabs Clone

This is a quick audio comparison of the direct output of a Spector Rebop DLX 5 with a PJ pickup set (EMG 40P5 and EMG 40J) after switching from an EMG BQC preamp to the LHZ-01 HazLabs clone.

The LHZ-01 is a clone of the vintage 80's era 9-volt HazLabs preamp, and uses the same obsolete LF442CN JFET op-amp.

Bass audio is recorded directly into a MOTU M4, with both samples with the Bass and Treble controls at maximum. No effects or processing was done to the bass audio.

For more information about the LHZ-01 clone, how it was created, and what makes the vintage Hazlabs an imperfect (yet unique) preamp, please visit my website for a full technical breakdown. https://agingengineer.com/2023/03/haz...
