SARTO is built around the now-renowned clean preamp circuit developed for the CAPO, sharing the same philosophy of precision tone shaping while expanding its capabilities with new features for even greater flexibility.
 

What makes SARTO special

  • Ultra-high impedance clean preamp
  • Low-noise input stage with fixed gain, huge headroom and extremely high input impedance, making SARTO ideal for piezo-equipped instruments while preserving every detail of the source signal.
  • Resonant High-Pass Filter: a uniquely voiced variable high-pass filter adjustable from 5 Hz to 200 Hz. More than a simple low-cut control, it tightens the low end, improves clarity and cabinet lifespan, while introducing a subtle resonance around the selected frequency for enhanced punch and focus, basically delivering the benefits of a “deep” switch while maintaining control and definition.
  • Expanded Tone Shaping: the EQ section features selectable shelving frequencies for both Bass and Treble controls, allowing users to move effortlessly between vintage warmth, modern articulation and everything in between.
  • Polarity Control: a dedicated polarity switch, affecting both unbalanced and xlr out, helps reduce feedback with acoustic instruments and simplifies phase alignment when blending multiple signal path like microphones and DI signals.
  • Professional DI Output: studio-grade direct output performance for live and recording applications.
  • Compact, pedalboard-friendly format with top mounted jacks and power.

Who is it for

SARTO excels with:

  • Electric bass
  • Upright bass
  • ⁠Acoustic guitar and other acoustic instruments in general
  • Electric guitar (including up to +16 dB of clean boost)
  • Monosynths
  • ⁠Any instrument requiring transparent, high-quality tone shaping and studio-grade clean preamp

What artists are saying

“I love the sarto! Compact but powerful preamp. Super useful on electric and acoustic bass.”
Tim Lefebvre

“The Sarto Preamp has improved my amplified sound on the upright bass so much that I now bring it to every gig I play. The combination of the low pass filter and the versatile Eq allows me to dial in a clear sound in any room with amazingly clean gain.”
Logan Kane

“I've relied on the Jad Freer Capo for years because it does something that's hard to describe until you hear it, it just makes your bass sound more like your bass. The new Sarto EQ pedal carries that same philosophy forward, with an incredibly musical EQ that enhances your tone rather than changing it. Every note feels bigger, clearer, and more alive. It's one of those pedals you turn on and never want to turn off.”
Billy Mohler

“Surprising range of frequencies in a very small and portable package. ”
Panagiotis Andreou
