The 400S has two input sections with separate gain controls to allow for plugging in two basses at once, or two pickups from an upright setup. Input 1 has a -6dB switch and a phase reverse switch. The preamp also has a mute switch for silent tuning and a 4-band EQ. The frequency bands are 80Hz, 250Hz, 800Hz, and 2500Hz, all of which can be boost or cut by 12dB.

The back of the unit has a pair of Speakon outputs, a headphone output, and an XLR line out with a pre/post switch. It also has a built-in start delay to protect from short circuit and clipping.

The Hevos 400S is shipping soon for approximately $1,138. For more info, check out the Hevos website.
