It can work as a strong clean boost, a smooth low-to-medium gain overdrive, or a tone-shaping preamp in front of an already-driven amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts big strength is control. With more than \u003cstrong\u003e30dB of available boost\u003c\/strong\u003e, a pre-gain stage and an active 2-band EQ, the BB Preamp can stay clear and articulate or move into a smooth, compressed overdrive without getting harsh or overly fuzzy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Clean Boost to Smooth Overdrive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BB Preamp uses a dedicated pre-gain stage that lets you move from a relatively clean, high-headroom push through to a warmer and more compressed overdrive sound. That makes it useful both as an always-on tone enhancer and as a standalone drive pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e30dB+ of Boost\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is plenty of output available for pushing the front end of a tube amp or lifting another drive pedal. Xotic rates the circuit for more than \u003cstrong\u003e30dB of clean boost\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it enough level to add serious punch and sustain when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eActive Bass \u0026amp; Treble EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBass and Treble\u003c\/strong\u003e controls are active and offer approximately \u003cstrong\u003e±15dB\u003c\/strong\u003e of adjustment. This gives the BB much more tone-shaping range than a typical single-knob overdrive and makes it easier to match to different guitars, amps and pedalboard setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrue Bypass \u0026amp; Simple Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control layout is straightforward with \u003cstrong\u003eGain, Volume, Bass and Treble\u003c\/strong\u003e. True bypass switching keeps the pedal out of the signal path when disengaged, while standard 9V power makes it easy to integrate into most boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Xotic BB Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Overdrive \/ Boost \/ Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: Gain, Volume, Bass, Treble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 30dB of clean boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive 2-band EQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ Range: approximately ±15dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-gain stage for clean to smooth overdrive tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue Bypass switching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput Impedance: 1MΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Impedance: 2kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 9V DC or 9V battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentre-negative power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: approximately 112 x 60 x 50mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: approximately 280g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is ideal for players who want a versatile boost\/overdrive that responds well to different rigs. It works especially well for blues, rock, fusion and players who like stacking gain stages or pushing an amp that is already close to breakup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BB Preamp is popular for a reason. It is smooth without feeling dull, has plenty of output, and the active EQ makes it far easier to tailor than many classic-style overdrives. It is one of those pedals that can quietly become a permanent part of a board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable from \u003cstrong\u003eColemans Music South Melbourne\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003eFast Shipping Aus Wide\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XOTIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67789195903028,"sku":"210000077882","price":230.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/5386\/3220\/files\/PRELOVED-XOTIC-BB-Preamp-1.jpg?v=1792692567","url":"https:\/\/www.colemansmusic.com.au\/products\/preloved-xotic-bb-preamp","provider":"Colemans Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
