Description
Description
Although the name "Preamp Pedal" suggests it is an effect that falls into the category of "drive pedals."
Many players love the excellent tone, and the tube amps made by owner Chris Benson are so popular that they require reservations of more than six months.
The Preamp Pedal is a pedal that Chris developed based on the circuit of the Chimera 30W, one of his most popular tube amplifiers.
The Preamp Pedal uses FET transistors instead of vacuum tubes, but the sound is reminiscent of the Chimera vacuum tube amplifier.
The name Preamp is simply a name given to it because it is modeled after a preamp circuit, but in reality it has a wide gain range from clean boost to creamy overdrive to thick fuzz-like distortion.
Another important point is that the diodes do not clip. This means that the dynamic range is wide, and even when the gain is increased, there is no compression that narrows the sound image. Even when connected before a boutique amplifier and turned on, the amplifier's inherent dynamic range can be fully utilized.
Another notable feature is the ability to reduce the gain while maintaining the range even when the guitar volume is turned down.
