THERMIONIC REINFORCER – 12AX7 Preamplifier Pedal
3
Description
THERMIONIC REINFORCER is the complete tube preamplifier section of my PP12 made
into a pedal, offering up blistering tube tone and enough drive to bypass an effects loop.
A second footswitch selects CLIP mode; either traditional tube saturation, or my novel
high-gain tube clipper stage. Tubes are run at high voltage! Unique to this preamplifier is
a tone control (CONTOUR) prior to clipping stages, akin to placing a Klon or Tube
Screamer in front, improving your punch through a mix.
Use this pedal to add more channels to your existing amplifier or bless a solid-state
power section with honest tube tone.
