“The Ictineo is Southampton's remake of a classic and near impossible to find bass preamp and tone shaping tool.  Working equally well on guitar, bass, keys, and anything else you can plug in, the Ictineo (Ik-tin-ee-oh) gives you the ultimate control over your instruments tone.  The Ictineo truly is a set-it-and-forget-it always-on tool which should be in every players arsenal. 
The Ictineo includes:
Body and tone controls for fine tuning your midrange and high end
Plenty of volume, plus a LOUD 'boost' switch
An 'ultrabass' switch to crank the low end
600 Hz boost, 1 khz boot, and 250 hz dip, all switch selectable for defining your frequency range.
Southampton is proud to donate $10 from the sale of every Ictineo to PCDH19 Alliance which supports researching a cure to PCDH19 Epilepsy.”
