The Fodera by Trickfish Preamp & Practice Amp brings the feel and tonal response of a Fodera-inspired bass preamp into a compact pedal format. Designed in collaboration between Fodera and Trickfish, it combines Trickfish’s clean, musical preamp circuitry with tone-shaping inspired by Fodera’s handmade basses.

At its core is a flexible 4-band EQ, giving bass players precise control over lows, low mids, high mids, and treble. The EQ can also operate in 2-band, 3-band, or 4-band modes, making it easy to move between broad tonal shaping and more detailed frequency control depending on the playing situation.

Built for more than just stage use, this pedal also works as a practical silent practice and recording tool. With headphone output, aux input for play-alongs, and DI output for sending signal directly to a mixer or recording interface, it is equally useful at home, in the studio, on tour, or as part of a live bass rig.

The Gain and Master controls allow players to dial in the right input response and output level, while the Pre/Post DI switch and ground lift add useful flexibility for live and recording environments. A buffered 1/4-inch output lets the pedal feed an amp or pedalboard setup while retaining a clear, articulate bass signal.

For players who want Fodera-inspired tone without being tied to one instrument, the Fodera by Trickfish Preamp & Practice Amp offers a highly portable solution - warm, articulate, musical, and ready for almost any bass.
