Preamp Pedals For Sale on Reverb
Amplifiers for electronic instruments, PAs, home stereos, and many other devices that produce sound for consumption by human ears usually boost volume in two stages: the preamp and power amp. Preamps also take the form of active pickup systems, powerful rack units, and even simple pedals.
What does a preamp do?
The preamp’s job is to take a quiet signal, such as that from a guitar, and bring it up to line level. In the context of guitar, this often includes pushing the signal’s gain higher than the power amp can take, creating distortion. Many preamp pedals include EQs for further tweaking.
What’s the difference between a preamp and overdrive pedal?
In many applications, there’s little difference. Both types of pedals are sometimes inspired by specific guitar amplifiers. For example, the Catalinbread Foundation series can be used as both preamps and dirt pedals. Guitarists may prefer versatile preamp pedals as an always-on sweetener. Preamp pedals are often great solutions for direct recording and running signals into a PA or cabinet simulator.
What is the best tube preamp pedal?
Those using solid-state or modeling amplifiers, or recording directly into their DAW, may miss the classic sound of an electric guitar through hot vacuum tubes. Two Notes makes several well-reviewed guitar preamp pedals (and one for bass) that include tubes in their circuitry, along with many routing options and controls for perfecting your tone.
What is the best preamp for metal?
Metal players have a variety of styles and preferences, but most will appreciate a guitar preamp that allows them to tweak their signature tone. Owners of the Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE rave about the box. Its features include two channels, numerous controls, and an external control jack. Budget-conscious metalheads should look into the Joyo California Sound and the mini Mooer Micro Preamp series.
What is the best clean preamp pedal?
From the lines and brands we’ve previously mentioned, there’s the Two Notes LeClean, Joyo American Sound, and Mooer US Classic Deluxe.
Where should I place a preamp pedal in my signal chain?
The short answer is before the power amp, which may be your digital audio interface, PA, or amplifier. In relation to your other effects, the placement varies depending on your goal. Usually, you’ll want any drive or dirt pedals before your preamp.
Modulation and time-based effects can work in either location. For example, if you want to use a delay to further saturate your signal, place it before your preamp. If you prefer pristine repeats, place it after your preamp and distortion pedals.
