Anyone play/use/know anything about this pedal/preamp?
It's a stompbox that you can use as a preamp or direct box.
Owner says it's noisy but I haven't played it yet, just opened it up and started poking around.
Just looking for any thoughts or info.
Thanks.

I have it and the schematic is in this forum.

I liked it but that was a while ago. The EQ was especially good along with the speaker sim.

great, where's the schem, I can't find it.
Thanks.

In the schematics forum of course! :-)

Thanks for not mocking my stupidity, I didn't know where/how the schems were stored so I did a search and found it.
Thanks again.

Did you play yours? It's pretty good. My friend thought highly of it around 10 years ago.

I have one that I used to use to go direct into the PA with my lap steel. Haven't tried it in a long time, but I remember it sounding good in that context.

Sounds okay, but it is noisy, like windstorm noise. Most likely a bad opamp.
I usually socket them when repairing so I can swap out different types for best sound.
