When Germanium Meets Amp-in-a-Box Magic
This limited-edition preamp merges our flagship FET circuit with the servo-biased germanium gain stage from our beloved Germanium Boost. The result? A warmer, richer version of our classic drive—lower in gain but higher in harmonic mojo.
Why This Hybrid Stands Out
✔ Germanium First Stage – Adds vintage sag and touch-sensitive response
✔ FET Powerhouse – Retains the tight EQ control of our flagship preamp
✔ Temperature-Stable Design – No tone shifts (until extreme heat)
✔ Versatile Gain Range – From clean boost to fuzz-tinged crunch
Tonal Sweet Spots
- Blues Boost: Low gain + treble cut = sweet, singing sustain
- Rock Crunch: Germanium grind meets FET articulation
- Lo-Fi Fuzz Edge: Crank the gain for gated breakup
Technical Notes
▸ 9V DC (50mA) – Works with batteries
▸ True Bypass
▸ Thermal Limit: Stops passing signal at 120°F (hot stage warning)
