The Xotic BB Preamp has earned its reputation as one of the classic "always-on" overdrive pedals. Originally introduced in the early 2000s, it combines a transparent clean boost, an amp-like overdrive, and an active EQ in a compact enclosure. It's equally at home pushing a clean tube amp or serving as your primary low- to medium-gain drive.
