Effectrode BlackBird Preamp

Better than Anticipated

I have bought many pedals over the years many have disappointed after the first 5 minutes. This one not so, it can be an always on and then click into a totally customized boost. Works well for me.

Quite the pedal.

I play pedal steel guitar exclusively, and wasn't sure the Blackbird was what I needed. Indeed, straight out of the box the clean channel simply wasn't clean. However, a bandmate who also has a Blackbird lent me some tubes to swap in, and I'm now very pleased with the pedal.

Incredible pedal!

This pedal completely gave a very good solid-state amp so much new life you’d swear it was a great tube amp. There aren’t enough good words to describe this pedal but I will say I thought my amp was good before and now it’s on a different level altogether thanks to the BlackBird. Together with incredible service and lightning quick delivery, the best gear purchase I’ve ever made.
