OVERDRIVE
PREAMP
Description
This foundation overdrive is designed to emulate the character of vintage Ampeg tube amplifiers, specifically bridging the gap between classic 1970s rock and modern stoner rock tones. The circuit features a two-band Baxandall EQ and gain stages that avoid standard guitar-pedal cathode capacitors, drawing inspiration from high-fidelity audio design. The V2 model includes an external "Stones/Stoner" switch that reconfigures the internal gain structure to shift from touch-sensitive grit to heavy, saturated fuzz. It functions as an amp-in-a-box, providing a high-output signal that can act as a standalone preamp for both guitar and bass. The pedal is specifically voiced to recreate the signature "edge-of-breakup" response associated with the Ampeg SVT and VT-40 units.
