Description

The Nocturne Brain Jr Barnyard is an Octal Tube style Preamp based on the Gibson EH-150 / EH-185 Amplifier.

Inspired by my Moonshine '39 amp, a repro of the 1939 Gibson EH-150 /185 pre-war tweed amp, and its octal tubes. I've created a textured hot club style preamp to garner those early Charlie Christian flutey reedy amp tones to Texas Playboys Junior Barnard and Eldon Shamblin dirty octal tube swingin' Texas blues.

Specs:

• Width: ~ 2.60 in (≈ 66 mm)
• Depth: ~ 4.80 in (≈ 122 mm)
• Height: ~ 1.38 in (≈ 35 mm)
• Circuit type: fully analog.
• True bypass switching.

Controls:

• Body depth Switch (Deep / Flat), for adjusting tonal response depending on instrument type (guitar, bass, acoustic, etc.).
• Bright Switch (on the side) to shape brightness/tone.
• Two controls/knobs: One for Volume (preamp level) and one “Blend” knob (on newer single-stomp models) to blend between a “normal/clean” channel and a “hot/mic” channel.
• Two stomp-switches: One for engaging the pedal (normal vs bypass), and one (on “double-stomp” versions) to engage the hotter / boosted channel for more texture and gain.
