In its basic setup, COPPERSTONE is adjusted as a unity gain device, where the input signal remains
the same as the output signal. This means that the active and passive signals will remain the same
when the EQ is set flat on all the three bands. However, it is possible to boost the gain of COPPERSTONE
up to +9dB if necessary, especially if the signal of the pickup is not enough to drive the first stage of amplification.

COPPERSTONE operates on current as low as 0,84mA, which represents almost half of current consumed by other commercially available bass guitar preamps. The minimum voltage necessary to power COPPERSTONE is 3.8V, very low compared to the minimum of 5v or even 7v for other similar devices.
While a battery with a voltage of 5V would be considered "dead" for other preamps, COPPERSTONE is capable to squeeze it down to 3.8 volts with an impressive 70% performance. These factors, among others, make this unique bass preamp to stand out in terms of energy efficiency, which translates in less battery consumption, less vaste and, lastly in a lower operational cost.
