Effect Pedal Kits:
The FET Preamp is inspired in the legendary BOSS FA1 FET amp, a
discontinued pedal made famous by The Edge. With this kit you have
the opportunity to build a replica of this rare gem! The FET Preamp
features a Baxandall 2-band tone circuit control that gives full
control over the tone, avoiding the need for other tone shaping
pedals. The FET Preamp is a very clean boost perfect to get a bit
more of volume or help your tube amp to break up in a natural and
warm way.
The only improvement made over the original Boss FA-1 is the use of
a
True Bypass switch
to avoid tone loss when turning it off.
The FET Preamp has the following potentiometers:
- The LOW SPDT chooses between a flat response and a low cut
- Treble and Bass set up the equalization of the sound
- Vol acts as a master volume control
