Hagerman Tube PREAMP - Vintage Saturation Galore!

Always one for cooking up new ideas, Jim Hagerman has released some new tube pedals - and this one is super-useful as both a vibey studio tool and for enhancing your live gigging sound.

The PREAMP adds warmth, colour, realism and light gain to anything you choose to patch through it by utilising a 12AU7 tube to impart some vintage vibes. Designed to be always-on - so much so you don't get a footswitch - it was primarily conceived for use with acoustic guitars packing Piezo pickups (today, I have a no-expense-spent $8 Amazon one, so the PREAMP really has its work cut out!).

But it also works brilliantly on anything else you might choose to patch through it - and even front-of-amp for use with electric guitars. So today, I'll show you the magic it can work on acoustic, bass, synth, and directly into both clean and dirty guitar amps.

What do you think? A super-useful studio and live tool? Or not for you? Comment below!
