🎸 Handcrafted tube guitar preamp with overdrive and delay
🚀PLEASE NOTE: This item is made to order. Production time takes about 2 weeks before shipping.
A boutique tube guitar preamp/effects unit built around a 6F1P vacuum tube (equivalent to an ECF80) in a classic triode + pentode configuration.
Combines true tube tone, Bluesbreaker-style overdrive, and analog delay in one compact, handcrafted unit.
Lil' Bandit — Vacuum Tube Tone Machine (Drive & Spatial Engine)
The Lil' Bandit is a sophisticated, all-analog guitar amplifier that combines a high-voltage tube tone machine, iconic Marshall Bluesbreaker overdrive, and a spatial delay/reverb effect. It's designed for flexible distortion structures and the creation of a spacious soundscape.
Specifications and Features:
Vacuum Tube Core: A true vacuum tube with a unique, independent control system:
Power control for the first stage (input stage triode tube).
Power control for the second stage (output stage pentode tube).
Triode/pentode mode switch for the output stage. Intelligent Input Routing: A dedicated toggle switch switches the input signal between the first and second tube stages (maximum power and punch in the first stage or a softer, rounded saturation in the second).
Marshall Bluesbreaker Overdrive Section: A classic overdrive with independent controls (Gain, Tone, Volume) for transparent, dynamic crunch and a typically British sound.
Delay/Reverb Section: A spacious delay and reverb module with separate parameter controls (delay, level, volume) allows you to smooth out distortion and add air and depth to your sound.
True Bypass: Fully mechanical cold bypass. When the pedal is off, the guitar signal remains absolutely pure, with no loss of frequencies or dynamics.
in → Triode → Pentode (с vosmognostjuus pereclucheniya natriod) → Overdrive → Delay → Output
The input signal can be directly switched to the second stage (pentode grid).
