The preamp I didn't know I needed

I don't know where to begin...I was always fascinated with the dirty boy line. Built by Blues Saraseno's dad Alex, they looked like nothing else at the time and they sounded incredible. Unfortunately, they were priced out of reach for the average starving guitarist. Fast forward to the 2020's and the line is being revived by Danny Gomez. The look was the same, the attitude was the same, and the tone was still incredible. Not being a starving guitarist anymore, I decided to take the plunge and am I ever glad I did. The preamp is a work of engineering art. Simple to use, the controls are very intuitive, but where the DB really shines is where it counts, the TONE. This box drips in tone. Other pedals claim to have the feel of an actual amp, this preamp does. Running it through my Hiwatt DR103, an amp with an already incredible tone, took it the next level. I never would have thought I'd say those words, but here we are. The tone was clear with defined note separation, and the bloom is like nothing I've ever heard from a pedal. Turning things up, I was greeted with the smoothest, most harmonicly complex drive I've ever heard in my life. Pushing the volume more, and the floors and walls shook! Hold a note and put a little shake on it, and the note just sang...splitting up beautifully into even order harmonics and octaves. This preamp also takes other drive pedals without losing a beat. So far, I've paired it with my zen drive and lovepedal 200lb fuzz. I can only describe it as god-like. I've always been very happy with my tone and set up and have been told on numerous occasions how good it sounds. With the dirty boy preamp, my tone is going from good to legendary. Thanks Danny, I couldn't have done this without you.

Sonido único

Realmente consigo sonidos con personalidad propia. Me ha encantado. Los controles permiten conseguir matices que no encuentro en ningún otro amplificador o equipo. Personalmente muy satisfecho.

A great amp

I only had a short time checking the preamp out so far, but it will stay on my board for sure. My Main amp is a Roland Jazz chorus, and for years i tried find a great distorted tone with pedals as well as pedal amps like the boss ir-2 or rockman. Being a pedal user this is by far the best option i ever had. Feels and plays like an AMP. Like it should! Fantastic!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to add that sound to my arsenal.

This is not just any pedal. This is the future. A must-have for any serious guitarist
