I can make it do anything I want.
Hey Chris, wheres that picture you said you were going to post... Im looking forward to seeing it before i commit...
Can we get a power switch as an option?I'm considering ordering two more, and a power-switch was one of the primary motivators to do so. In an everything-prewired situation it would mean not having to remove the battery to shut it off.
Thanks for posting a photo, Chris.Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see the gain knob that you mentioned in previous posts?
I am coming out with a new preamp in the next 4 weeks it will be the same size as the ugly but it will have up to 40 db of gain and a single 6 position gain switch on and off with be via the mic input when a mic is plugged in it will be on. I have secured some very tiny knobs for the gain control. It will have the same exact functionality as my 9200 preamp but the same size as the ugly. It will not have a HPF. I am going to sell this for $179.99 there will be no tools needed to adjust gain in the field.Chris Church

Just unplug the mic input Nothing more then most would already do.

These aren't simple 'plug in a pair of mics and hit record' scenarios, but more complex setups using mulitple mics and preamps all prewired. Disconnecting and re-connecting things is not a very good option- disconnecting wires more so than removing batteries. I've seen more recent CA-UGLYs than my pair which have a power switch on them, and that would make things much more straight forward. Admittedly these are atypical setups compared to the basic Mic pair > UGLY > Recorder situation.
thanks Chris... I appreciate that picture you posted... I'm looking forward to seeing the actual Pre amp.. Maybe some closeups on the dials...I already have the 9100 and want to use something smaller.. the Ugly looks exactly what im looking for.. So Chris, look out for that email...

The preamp can be plugged in and tested before you enter the venue... Thats what I would recommend for any taper to make sure his or her gear is working properly. Also power consumption is low at 7mA. So battery life is very good. The old Ugly v 3.0 is still available with power switch if a customer wants it. I dont know too many tapers that would switch mics in a stealth situation ( what this preamp is designed for ) that would switch mics in a venue. I wish I could fit a power switch in and perhaps for one or two custom requests I will. For now plugging in the mic turns the power off with zero power draw. Just like a regular power switch.
That looks great Chris, nice work. I really dig the combination of both a detented master gain knob and independant channel trimmmers!I don't mean to beat the horse here since my applications obviously aren't your target market, but could one of those 6 master gain positions be repurposed to 'power off' as a special build request?
