Hand-wired by Night Owl Industries, the Edison Preamp is an all-tube, EF86-powered preamp capable of providing 20-25db of clean gain in a compact pedal format that uses a standard 9v power supply. Simple and, but also versatile in a lot of applications. For musicians seeking to infuse their setup with authentic tube warmth and dynamic responsiveness, the Edison Preamp stands out.
For guitarists, the Edison works as a simple clean boost or as a lower-gain overdrive to push your amp. Because of the amp-like, all-tube feel, it's a great way to warm up a sterile digital modeling rig, providing headroom and dynamics without a processed feel. On bass, use it at the start of the signal chain for a punchy, rounded tone. For home recording, try it before a recording interface to get a mix-ready signal with analog character.
This 2010s Night Owl Industries Edison Preamp is gently used and shows some scuffs and signs of use (see photos), but it functions 100% as it should and sounds fantastic. The previous owner added velcro to the bottom, and the original sticker label has been peeled off of the edge. This is a great tube-driven pedal! Simple, straightforward and it sounds great. This is the earlier version without the switch, so get the full range of boost via the volume knob.
