Here's a really lovely, fun pedal for you! :-) This is the White Rabbit Deluxe by Marshall Terry....a pedal based around the transistor circuitry of old recording studio tape machine preamps!

The blue side is 'unity gain' - giving a slight level increase but more subtle compression as you turn it up. However, as you reach the top, the whole circuit folds in on itself and becomes super fuzzy & gated for some really unique tones. The red side has more familiar gain & volume controls, but these are both very interactive and definitely affect each other...so you can really fine-tune how you want the pedal to sound & feel by balancing the two.

I mainly use this pedal on my board as a really fantastic always-on buffer - but it can be everything from your clean tone sweetener/enhancer, through to a crunchy overdrive and into thick fuzz territory. Plus, it cleans up beautifully with the guitar's volume control. What's not to love?!?

What do you think? A really amazing preamp? Or are you more of a 'straight-to-amp-no-buffers' sorta person?? Please comment below!

Guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Custom with Monty's PAFs recorded through a Dr Z DB4 (sE Electronics RNR1 Ribbon), a Hughes & Kettner Puretone Combo (Aston Spirit Condenser) and a Cornell Romany Plus (Sennheiser MD441 Dynamic)
