Germanium Preamp

This pedal is inspired by our well-known amp-in-a-box Preamp pedal, with one key modification: we've replaced the first FET transistor with a germanium gain stage, borrowed from our servo-biased Germanium Boost pedal. This addition serves as a versatile gain stage that consistently delivers a germanium character, remains unaffected by temperature fluctuations, and maintains frequency response integrity. The outcome is a unique interpretation of our flagship pedal, blending the exceptional feel of germanium with the meticulous equalization and tone controls of the preamp. The final result offers a slightly lower gain, yet provides a richer sounding and feeling overdrive/boost/fuzz/whatever that we truly love. We hope you enjoy it!
