Introducing the all new Purple Nightmare Tube Preamp Pedal. As the first pedal in the Driftwood Amplifiers line-up, the Tube Preamp Pedal takes the legendary BURN channel from Driftwood's flagship amp and puts it in a portable enclosure. Driftwood uses the exact same high-end components as in their tube heads to ensure the same sound and feel. In addition to the preamp they added the versatile power section controls Rumble, Sharp and the well-known Sizzle switch along with the Master volume to shape the overall tone and match it to your power amp. On board you can also find Driftwood's T/S overdrive with Gain, Tone and Volume controls. You can also use it alone to boost your existing amp.
Connections
Plug your guitar cable into the Input of the pedal and connect the Out from the pedal to a power amp, FX return or front input of your amp. If you have an amp with FX-Loop you can use the 4-wire method to basically just add another channel to your existing setup. Pressing the Bypass button, your guitar signal is going straight to your amp's input. When you activate the Preamp Pedal, the signal will be routed through the Preamp Pedal and directly to the FX return of your existing amp without going through the preamp of your amp.
Have a great amplifier and just want to add a Driftwood Burn channel? Here you go! Have a Driftwood amp and need one more channel? Here you go! With the internal charge pump you can drive the two 12ax7 with a proper 250v DC to have all the tone, response and feel you know from real amp tube circuits. This Pedal is fully hand build in Germany from the best parts available.
