Any guitarist can benefit from the Xotic BB Preamp overdrive pedal, a real tonal Swiss army knife. The pedal works equally well for getting thick and creamy overdrive tones with great sustain as it does for pushing the clean front end of an already driven amp with up to 30+dB of boost. You’ll find Xotic pedals on the boards of many guitarists who appreciate how touch responsive they are – and the BB Preamp is no exception.

Xotic: Boutique pedals, preamps, and more

Xotic was born in a small garage in Southern California in 1996 and quickly became known for high-quality, boutique bass guitars and bass preamps. These days, they’ve expanded the pedal line, crafting stompboxes that are played by some of the finest guitarists in the business. Their acclaimed AC Booster, RC Booster, and BB Preamp pedals remain some of their most popular pedals.
