Prickly Pear Preamp Deluxe

NOTE: All TRA pedals have to be run using isolated power supplies such as the Strymon Zuma, Voodoo Lab Power Plus 2, Truetone CS-12, etc. Wall warts will fry the circuits!

This is the Prickly Pear Deluxe. 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.

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 gain knobs are affected by the hi/lo toggle. For the most gain and fuzz type tone, put the toggle in the up position. A little lower gain and headroom, put the toggle in the middle. Less gain and cleaner cleans, put the toggle in the lowest position The master knob controls the overall volume of the pedal.

For an additional $25, you can choose your own color scheme!

Each unit has hand selected components, is hand drilled, hand assembled, and tested by myself.
