Chase Tone Secret Preamp

Subtle but Discernable

This pedal truly has a sound that, provided you put in the context of an era-accurate rig and use it immediately before the amp, will be immediately familiar when you step on it. It's sort of like butter added to sauce: you can't point to anything beyond a little extra richness (or if you use the "bright" setting, sparkle/aggressiveness), but you wouldn't want the sauce without it, because everything coheres better once it's added. The note separation is better with this than with the Catalinbread Epoch Bias, which is slightly warmer and blurrier sounding.

Great Transaction For My 2nd Chase Tone Preamp!

The Chase Tone Pre Amp is one of my necessities for great guitar sound. In the past I used real solid state Echoplexes, now, I use the earlier tube models. This is my second Chase Tone Preamp. I have multiple pedal boards, and am trying to avoid ripping the big board apart to make a travel board for the upcoming Euro show. So, getting one of these with the fancy graphics at a great price - had to do it! Even though I’m in the USA, dealing with this shop in Canada was smooth as could be. Highly recommended.

Super high quality and built solid. Sounds amazing for one knob amd a switch. If uou want the Echoplex preamp thing this nails it!!!
