Presenting the Xotic BB Preamp Version 1.5 (New Look with the Same Great Tone).
The Xotic BB Preamp offers a wide 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 utilizes a pre-gain stage that allows it to go from a very pristine clean to a very smooth,compressed, overdriven sound.
"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 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...." -Lee Ritenour
"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." - Steve Lukather
"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 Howe
