Bergantino Forte Owners

[Pep]

Just bought a Bergantino Forte D and a NXV112 to use at home and I am very happy with it overall. Volume is not really a need right now but it’s there if and when I need down the road. I’m just wondering how many of you Forte owners out there also use additional tone shaping pedals with it like an eq or preamp pedal. I find I can get close to the tone I’m looking for but need to use an Empress parametric eq pedal to fine tweak it. That being said I’m running a passive precision bass and like to sculpt a little more midrange out then what the 4 band eq offers.

I love my Forte D and HP2. I've found that I like the sound of the Forte D best.
However, I purchased a new amp built by a fellow member that is now my "go to". It's Woodring Acoustics WA2T700. It has a tube preamp and class D power. It's light weight and it has all the tone I will ever need. It's also very light. He built 10 of them and they're all pretty much spoken for.
Here's a pic:

This is the tube pre I’ve been using with my Forte. I use the effect return input. The Forte was legend for clean transparent power , and that’s exactly what I use it for.

So you run the Super Pre into the front of the Forte through the instrument input? Curious if it can fit on top of the Forte head or is it too big. I can’t seem to find any dimensions for it.

I was running it into the front of the amp, yes. I have since sold it. From memory it fits on top of the forte. It was overkill for what I needed, so I swapped it out for the Origin.
