“I needed the loop to get my pedals out clean to house and amp. I love how you can switch to the preamp side and not lose punch due to the sauce on said preamp.
It’s been a godsend live, and it’s just as cool as the regular CAPO to record with.”

what they say about us
Joel Gottschalk
{ CAPO’s depth of tone and versatility have made it my staple ‘can’t leave the house without’ DI/Preamp. It’s also super stylish and well-built. If you’re still searching for ‘the one’ – This is it! Also, Jad Freer’s SISMA amp is also a total game changer. Best amp I’ve every played live. No hyperbole. {
ANZE LANGUS
{ Capo is the most versatile and outstanding preamp DI I’ve heard in my entire life. It brings my bassplaying to life even more! For studio and live! The most juicy midrange you can imagine {
Dave Speranza
{ The Capo allows me to get a consistently great sound every night. Whether amp-less and using IEMs, or dealing with backline amps of varying quality, I have the flexibility to get the sound I want in any room. {
ALESSANDRO CIANFERONI
{ Best sounding boutique gear ever! Special products hand build by special people, Jad Freer is a true Italian pride! {
Riccardo Di Vinci
{ The right dimension of the bass sound! The CAPO is something I have been searching for many years and finally I’ve found it {
Pino Saracini
{ I seldom use an amplifier so the preamp/DI becomes the most important tool for sound management, the CAPO ensures me quality and versatility both live and in the recording studio {
Carrtoons
{ CAPO is my favorite bass preamp pedal I’ve ever used. Super versatile and the saturation is next level! {
Simon Francis
{ The Capo has quickly found its way into my daily carry – happily at home as the centerpiece of a pedal board, or as a studio preamp/DI on all manner of sources. It has wonderfully rich and detailed sonic identity, as well as the flexibility to cover any conceivable creative context. {
Lyle Workman
{ I am loving the Capo! {
Nick Bernard
{ The Jad Freer Capo isn’t capable of making bad tone. The mids are punchy and the low end is clean. The features on the DI (like the clean and dirty XLR out and the FX loop) just take this pedal over the top. It’s a show essential for me! {
Ryan Stasik
{ Stoked to be rocking a JF Sisma on the road with Umphreys! {
Rocco Palladino
{ The Capo works great for me on the road and in the studio. From warm old school sounding saturation to modern tones to a great clean DI, it’s got it all covered {
WADE BIERY
{ My Jad Freer Capo preamp/DI unit has been revelatory on my current tour with Kenny Loggins, enabling me to get a much sweeter sound on stage in almost any context, and by using the loops/switching capabilities of the pedal my options palette has expand dramatically, which makes my life much easier when you’re moving quickly […] {
Tim Lefebvre
{ Jad Freer products are a revelation! So well made, so good sounding. The Capo is a permanent studio go to for me and I never leave home without the Domino power supply. It’s super quiet {
NEAL BOWEN
{ Minerva Cabinets are super punchy and awesome top to bottom. I have a 2×10 and 1×12. They’re nice and light, yet produce such a massive sound. The high end is very musical and sweet, rather than harsh and tinny. The perfect midrange; awesome low-mid bump. Lows are like a warm blanket and a punch to […] {
CALEB BUCHANAN
{ I can literally get any tone on the CAPO. The extra gain-staging and wide eq makes this great on electric, upright and even the occasional guitar gig. Sound engineers usually run up to my board and ask what I’m using and I just point to the CAPO {
Sean Hurley
{ I’m in love with the Capo! As a straight DI it is fabulous. It has a tube like warmth and an extremely balanced sound. With the drive side and all the options there, it’s a complete game changer. Insane tones and flexibility. This is a must have as a DI and drive pedal all in […] {

Kevin Scott
{ The Jad Freer Audio CAPO continues to blow my mind every time I use it. The EQ diversity and true saturation is unmatched with any bass DI/Pre I have ever played through. They have figured out a way to get everything you could ask for in one unit. For the bass player that has to […] {
BURT HUSSELL
{ The Jad Freer CAPO is the crowing glory of my tone. {

Matteo Vallicella
{ While the quest for the perfect sound is constantly evolving, Jad & Freer products are sonically without compromises and still designed with the musician in mind. The best I tried, by far. {
Rob Mullarkey
{ The Capo is currently the final stop on my pedalboard for Jacob Collier. It’s like a mastering engineer for my bass tones, adding some harmonic richness and some beautiful EQ. I can step on a boost for featured moments and the pristine XLR means no need for DI boxes {
Matías Eisenstaedt
{ Now my sound is with CAPO…”you turn it on and magic happens” perfect dist and sub, ideal for stage/studio, definitely something different and necessary. {

Logan Kane

Mitch Friedman
{ For almost a decade now, my gigs have all been on in-ears, and amps have been replaced with great sounding DIs/preamps. I quickly learned that no pedal-pre could come anywhere close to the tone of my bigger, more expensive/fragile tube pres, until a friend recommended I try out the Capo. My mind was immediately blown […] {
