Acorn Amplifiers MIGFET Preamp

MIGFET PREAMP V2

Last year Acorn debuted the Transistor MIGFET 50P Preamp, a reinterpretation of the original Sovtek MIG50 guitar tube amplifier in pedal form. The response was amazing. Guitarists rejoiced as the sound of one of their most oft used amps was now available in a convenient pedal package. The one bit of feedback they received from the MIGFET was that users wanted MORE GAIN, so Acorn popped open the hood and discovered a simple yet effective single component swap that delivers additional breakup while retaining the full tonal characteristics of the MIG sound. And thus, the MIGFET V2 was born.

The MIGFET V2 uses JFETs in place of the 12AX7 preamp tubes in the original amp circuit. This gives the pedal the compression/sag response of a tube amp when you dig in on your guitar strings. The dynamic EQ has that classic Bassman tone stack shapeability that the MIG circuit employed and allows for a slew of easily tunable sounds. Turn the Volume low and raise the Master for clean preamp tones. Lower the Master and crank the Volume for more gain/breakup. True bypass, powered by standard 9VDC pedal pedal, consumes less than 40mA of current.
