The kartakou beastbox preamp pedal. Runs two 12ax7 tubes at high voltage (300v).
Have owned it for about 2 or 3 months now.
used it into my mesa 50/50 poweramp, in my powerstage170 and into my 6505+ fx loop.
Quick cons: 3xpensive! And physically huge! runs at 12v 800mA and uses a high...
Holy cow! this thing is next level!
Ive owned tube preamps before and this thing is legit! All the signs are there, tube grit, tube punch, tube chunk, TUBE SLAM DUNK!
Its got that chewy tubey goodness and though i can only compare it to my bogner twinjet, its definitely sounds..... Bognery...
Thinking about getting either the P-lead (5150) or B-lead (bogner)
Dont hear much of anything about these or hear from people who own them. They just kinda came and went. The few vids sound incredible! Was just really hoping some of you have had hands on experience with em.
Ive been singing this pedals praises from the rooftops for years now and im here again to declare this thing as just an absolute BEAST! And a direct 100% accurate clone of the real amps gain channel. Anyone who might be on the fence i implore you to just GET IT!!
Ive revisited the VHD in my...
Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Has lived in my studio rack or in a hard rack case. In excellent cosmetic condition and perfect functional condition. If you would like, I can keep it loaded with all of my user cabs, which include some excellent cabs from ML Sound Lab and Ownhammer...
Hi Sevenstringers! I did another demo / comparison with my Engl E530 and my Powerball. This time the E530 is running through the poweramp section of the Powerball and then into A Two Notes Torpedo Captor. Works well! I also did a full track where you can hear the difference in a mix.
I am...
Man i DONT want to sell this thing, its pretty incredible! That bogner is making me do lots of crazy things lol
Ps: i over compensated with the bass, im sorry. Its almost 4am and ive been a bit out of it lol. What d'yall think?
Hey guys. Did a shootout of these two over on my channel this week. I can't imagine that there are any high gain pedals out there that can really touch either of these in terms of the totality of what they have to offer.
Heya,
I am planning on replacing the Rondomusic brice electronics with a darkglass tone capsule, now I am seeing this:

What worries me is that the mid knob seems to be on the electronics?
The darkglass capsule has 3 connectors (lows, mid, high...
Hello everybody! I want to share with you all my latest video review of the great plugin preamplifier U530 by Mercuriall.
Please feel free to share it where you want.
Hi all,
I’ve been setting up my Mooer Preamp 012 US Gold with my Mooer Radar and it’s sounding absolutely brutal. I bought them for the fact that it would help with recording good amp sounds on a budget without overloading my laptop with VSTs.
However when I have been recording a few takes it...
I wanna get a preamp pedal, ya know, REAL HARDWARE to record with instead of amp sims. There's LOTS of preamp/distortion pedals out there right now, the Apex, Nemesis, Tightmetal, Revv, what would you personally recommend?
A lot of bad things have been said about this pedal and for good reasons. In the wrong hands it can bring the end of the world or best case the end of your hearing.
I used to have one in the past on my first days as a guitarist before I knew what good tone sounded like but I like to think I...
As someone who has most of these lauded preamp pedals (G3, Nemesis, Pathos) and bought them with the intention to do comparison videos on them..I pretty quickly felt that this one is in a league of it's own, and I'm FAR from a tube snob. Highly recommend this guy.
Hello everybody, so I'm going to build a new home recording PC from scratch and I need to buy a new decent soundcard as well. The budget for the sound card will be very important, so I'm going to report some details and specifications from the original website of three major soundcards compared...
