Prickly Pear Preamp

*Starting 7/12/24, I will be selling 2 of each Prickly Pear variant each week. This is a manageable workload for me and will help me not get behind on orders. The goal is to ship all orders at the end of each week. National Holidays and traveling will affect some weeks so please follow along via Instagram or our email list for up-to-date info. I am starting to use some new manufacturing methods so these will still be partially handwired, but not fully. Please reach out with any questions/concerns! Not offering custom colors at this time.

The Prickly Pear Preamp V1.5 is the pedalfied version of the preamp section from the famous Korg SDD-3000 rack unit delay. The unit has consistently been used by the Edge, Daniel Lanois, and countless others. People refer to it as the “magic preamp,” as even though the unit was specifically a delay unit, the preamp could push your amp harder and add nice crystal clean highs and clarity without sounding too bright or harsh.

The Prickly Pear Preamp Deluxe Mini is the same as our Prickly Pear Preamp Deluxe, just in a smaller vertical enclosure! The default color for these will be a black enclosure, two black knobs, and one red knob.

The Prickly Pear Preamp Deluxe is a custom version of our Prickly Pear Preamp with two switchable gain presets! When either gain knob is engaged, the corresponding LED will light up to let you know what’s on.
