Exotic Preamp

Project overview

Overdrive with roots on the classic TS808 featuring a Baxandall active Bass and Treble control to cut and boost the frequencies you need. This bad boy delivers around 30db boost, and it’s for sure one of the gainiest TS-inspired pedals out there.

Introduction

From the three Xotic ™ Preamp pedals, the BB has the most amount of Gain and the biggest amount of Volume push. So it can deliver quite a lot of clean Boost (around 30db) to drive your amp harder by itself. That’s why we proudly choose this one for our first take on these classic designs. These Series are Stompboxes that are out there for a decade now and still can be spot on so many Pedalboards. One reason is for sure its active Bass and Treble EQ allows you to cut and boost frequency. Another reason is that the BB in the Name stands for Blues Braker; just by the name itself, you could hear some creamy lead tones in your head. Didn’t you? Is there more to say? Happy building
