The pedals we’ve reviewed from Studio Daydream Handmade Pedals have continually gotten better and better, providing different, unique overdrive and compression effects around every corner. Today, we’re bringing you their FETBOX Custom V8 Preamp, a compact pedal that simulates the pre-amp of a boutique 30W tube amp. With 2 channels of gorgeous tone available at a moment’s notice, you’ll easily find a sound to fit any rig…
The FETBOX, which has been produced to be a long-selling product, has been reborn as the FETBOX CUSTOM by significantly changing the circuit structure, in order to make it easier to handle and to have a balance that is faithful to the tube sound. The exterior operation unit is the same as the old model, but the style of sound and the operational feeling of the tone stack have massively evolved. It is made to be a versatile pedal that works well with both single coils and humbuckers, and even your transistor amp can be transformed into a tube-like sound.
Compared to those using vacuum tubes and transformers, it is smaller, lighter, and can be easily incorporated into a pedalboard, resulting in a sound that comes close to a tube amp which you wouldn’t imagine judging from its small appearance. With CH2, you can create a wide range of sounds by adjusting the original TREBLE/BASS, and enjoy the finest crunch/overdrive sound. By moving the HI GAIN switch to the up position, the gain can be increased even more to increase distortion, sustain, and low frequencies.
You plug in the FETBOX Custom V8 Preamp, you turn it on, and then you ROCK. It’s as simple as that. Utilizing a small but specific set of parameters, you can get switch between gorgeous clean tone and amp-driving grit in one second, all suiting whatever rig you happen to be running at the time. We love the effects from Studio Daydream Handmade Pedals, and this one has got to be in the top 3 we’ve played from them so far. Be sure to check out their website for more info, and watch our demo video to see and hear this crimson beast in action…cheers!!
