Trickfish Overdrive Preamp

Overdrive Preamp
Overdrive with 3 Band EQ & Blend

In a sea of overdrives, our Overdrive Preamp seeks to answer to the question: “How can we bring something different to the table?” We wanted an Overdrive that was warm, smooth, creamy, and retained not only fullness in the low end, but the entire dynamic range of your instrument. The Overdrive Preamp delivers a pleasing soft clipping overdrive, with a dry blend knob to mix in as little or as much dirt as you desire. Followed by an onboard 3 band EQ with shelving bass and treble controls, this highly adjustable overdrive with smart tone shaping allows you to perfectly tailor your sound. Dial in everything from creamy, touch-sensitive sparkle to full-on saturated filth, and all things in between. Whether you’re painting your sound with a creamy, touch-sensitive sparkle or pushing it to the limits with full-on saturated distortion, our Overdrive Preamp pedal adapts to your creative vision.

Features:

• Parallel Signal Blending: Features a dedicated Blend knob to mix clean bass punch with overdriven grit so your foundational low end never drops out.
  
• Drive-Only 3-Band EQ: Bass, Mid, and Treble controls exclusively shape the distorted signal, perfectly mimicking a dual guitar/bass amplifier studio rig.
  
• Soft-Clipping Gain Circuit: Delivers touch-sensitive analog warmth, moving seamlessly from subtle edge-of-breakup saturation to rich overdrive.
  
• Independent Drive Leveling: An isolated Output knob lets you balance or boost the volume of the overdriven signal against your clean tone.
  
• Pedalboard Optimized: Packaged in a rugged, compact steel chassis with space-saving top-mounted input and output jacks.
