Great budget preamp/distortion

For a fraction of the price of the original Darkglass pedal this pedal delivers a great tone.

Love this preamp

For the price, this is the best preamp with a lot of things. You have a 6 band eq, master volume, drive channel with tone, blend, level and drive, you have 2 switches for extra high freq or more gain, a clean output, headphone jack, balanced DI with gnd/lift and a 8x10 cab sim.
