The BB Preamp offers awide variety of sounds. It's capable
of a 30dB+ clean boost with an adjustable ±15dB two band active
EQ which adds a wide range of harmonic content to your ideal sound.
The BB also utilizes a pre-gain stage which allows
the Pedal to go from a very pristine clean to a very smooth,compressed,
overdriven sound.
True bypass for eliminating any signal interference
when switched off.
Can be used with AC adaptor (optional) or 9V Battery.
" The BB Preamp
is a great sounding soft Distortion and Sustain pedal. It really produces
a great fat singing lead tone! The BB gives you a more sustained focused
lead tone than the AC. Between
the RC, AC,
and BB, you can cover all your boost, overdrive, and gain needs! Josh Smith"

Scott Henderson said; I tried the BB Preamp on my gig and I love it!
After 3 years using the SD-9 I'm changing to the BB in my rack. I'll talk
about it on my message board!

Lee Ritenour said; " I was worried about airplane travels in
Europe. So I brought my new Signature model, which is a very nice guitar
but it doesn't have quite the push of the sound that I like that I got
from my old one. So I used the BB Preamp with the gain all the way down.
I almost used it as a pre-amp in the sense of just boosting the clean
sound a little bit. As a true booster of the tone and the volume. Almost
like a compressor without compressing. It's very effective for me...."

Steve Lukather said; I used my Xotic pedals and love them. They are
my "secret weapon" at Simon Phillips studio. I used it on Tony
Levins new Cd as well as some of the new Toto Cd. Luke
Greg Howe said; "This is one of the only pedals I've ever
played through that actually enhances most of the characteristics that
I look for in a cool tone, and that are typically desired by tone conscious
players. With most gain-boost pedals you sacrifice tone for playability.this
pedal adds to the tone while giving you that fun playability. Very Nice!" Greg's
