🎸 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.

The input signal can be directly switched to the second stage (pentode grid).
