228 PRE

The Electron Brothers 228 PRE is a preamp effects pedal designed to deliver the tonal character of vintage solid-state studio microphone preamps from the 1970s and 1980s. This stompbox employs a discrete transistor circuit and is tuned for electric instruments, providing detailed shaping and responsive dynamics. Independent INPUT GAIN and OUTPUT GAIN controls allow for adjustment of signal level and coloration, enabling a range from subtle enhancement to pronounced tonal shaping without introducing clipping. The pedal features HF (high frequency) and LF (low frequency) controls, enabling flexible EQ adjustments for signal balancing, midrange emphasis, and variable frequency responses. **Features:** - Analog preamp pedal using discrete transistor topology - Dual gain controls: INPUT GAIN and OUTPUT GAIN - EQ section with high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) adjustment - Fine control over signal shaping without clipping - Designed for integration with pedalboards and other studio gear
