Really neat Big Al pics included

One of the things that really interests me about the Big Al preamp is the ability to set up two very different tones and just punch a button to get from one to the other. I play standard soul/funk/motown/old-school R&B, and need either a modern, aggressive sound or a very motown-y muffled thump. Presumably the former could be accomplished with the active EQ and the latter with the passive.

No doubt about it, you can get that variety of sound from adjusting the active/passive config on my SSS Big Al. Not sure about the H but the SSS can jump between the old school and modern tones by flipping between the passive and active modes. Very handy if you play a variety of music live.
