Demeter Amplification DD-1 Double D Overdrive Overdrive Effects Pedals

The brand is especially well known in the bass world for its tube preamps, including the HBP-1 and the VTBP series, which have been staples on studio and touring rigs for decades. On the pro-audio side, Demeter's VTMP tube mic preamps and Tube Direct Boxes have appeared on countless recordings. The pedal line includes the Tremulator and related effects built around the same hand-wired philosophy as the rack gear.

Before launching the company, James Demeter played guitar in The Heaters on Capitol Records and worked in electronics at John Caruthers' guitar shop, where early prototypes of his tube bass preamp found their way to players like Stanley Clarke and Leland Sklar. Demeter gear has been used on sessions by artists ranging from Michael Jackson to Neil Young.

Demeter Amplification has 28 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Tremolo Effects Pedals, and Bass Preamps. Their gear is featured by 57 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include John Myung, Patrick Dahlheimer, and David Gilmour. Most Demeter Amplification products sit firmly in the high-end, boutique range.
