Xotic Effects BB Preamp:
The BB Preamp is a distortion/overdrive pedal that offers a wide variety of sound. It's capable of 30dB+ clean boost with adjustable ±15dB two band active EQ's which adds a wide range of harmonic content for your ideal sound.

The BB also utilizes a pre-gain stage which allows the pedal sounds a very pristine clean to a very compressed smooth overdriven sound.

The BB Preamp also features true bypass switching for eliminating any signal interference when it is switched out.

I like mine WAY better than a tube screamer.

Having said that, I use it much less than my Direct Drive even though they can be considered very similar pedals. Its nice to have a less compressed sounding option sometimes....

most modded tubescreamers are tweaked for maximum gain. this one is tweaked for minimal gain.

Its the "gainest" of their 3 pedals. My RC Booster is more of a clean boost than anything else...
