The Mitre Box is a high performance bass preamplifier/headphone monitoring system which I believe represents a carefully tuned balance of boutique performance and every-day value. I’ve spent a lot of time combing through the MPP-1’s design and identifying areas where the most cost could be removed with the least impact on sound and flexibility. I was able to do a lot of what I did in the MPP-1, but in different ways which yielded lower parts cost.

A few key infrastructure changes ended up saving me a lot of build time too. I was able to add an effects loop and a fully balanced stereo input to the headphone driver so it works great in a live in-ear monitoring system, in the studio as a self monitor, or as a ridiculously great sounding practice amp.

It’s small enough to slip in your gig bag which makes it a great choice to go along with powered speakers like the Bergantino IP cabinets. The end result is a much more affordable preamp that still performs like crazy.

-High performance, low noise and distortion
-Powerful Headphone driver with balanced stereo input for in-ear monitoring systems
-Same great EQ circuit topology as the MPP-1
-Small and compact.
-A great mate for powered speaker cabinets like the Bergantino IP’s
-Serial or Parallel effects loop
-High quality DI output with Pre EQ/Post EQ (and FX) switch
