Xotic Effects BB Preamp (Bluesbreaker Based) Overdrive Pedal - Used
The Xotic BB Preamp V1 is a highly versatile overdrive inspired by the classic Bluesbreaker circuit. Capable of delivering everything from 30dB+ of pristine clean boost to smooth, compressed overdrive, this pedal has become a favourite among tone purists and professionals alike.
With an adjustable ±15dB two-band active EQ (bass and treble), the BB Preamp offers a wide tonal palette, from transparent boosts that enhance your natural tone to harmonically rich drive that adds warmth and sustain. The pre-gain stage allows precise control, whether you want sparkling cleans, edge-of-breakup crunch, or saturated overdrive.
Built with true bypass switching to eliminate signal interference, this compact pedal is equally at home on stage or in the studio. Runs on 9V battery or standard 9V DC power supply (not included).
