■ This is the "FETBOX CUSTOM V8" preamp pedal by Studio Daydream. ■ Comes with box and manual. ■ This compact pedal simulates the preamp section of a boutique 30W tube amp using transistors. The FETBOX, which has been a long-selling product, has been redesigned as the FETBOX CUSTOM to be easier to use and to achieve a sound more faithful to tube sound by significantly changing the circuit configuration. The external controls are the same as the previous model, but there have been significant improvements in the sound characteristics and the feel of the tone stack. Compared to those using vacuum tubes and transformers, it is smaller and lighter, making it easy to incorporate into a pedalboard. It delivers a sound that closely resembles a tube amp, which is hard to imagine from its small size. This version follows the original preamp, and the CLEAN CH allows for subtle tone balance adjustments and is designed not to distort (when the HI GAIN switch is OFF). CH2 allows for a wide range of sound creation with unique TREBLE and BASS adjustments, allowing you to enjoy exquisite crunch to overdrive sounds. It is a versatile pedal that works well with both single-coil and humbucker pickups, and it will transform your transistor amp into a tube-like sound. The HIGH GAIN switch allows you to further increase the gain, increasing distortion, sustain, and low frequencies. The gain also increases in CLEAN CH, but since unwanted distortion is added, it is an option to be used mainly when using CH2.
