This BYOC FET PreAmp pedal is hand-assembled in our shop.The BYOC FET PreAmp kit is an almost exact replica of the legendary and discontinued BOSSFA-1 FET AMP made famous by The Edge. We say "an almost exact replica" because the onlydifference is that we've added a true bypass footswitch so that you can turn it on and off just like areal stompbox. The BYOC FET PreAmp kit comes with Hitachi HA1457W opamps and an NOSToshiba 2SK246 JFET which are the exact same semiconductors used in the original FA-1. TheBYOC FET PreAmp also adds a few upgrades by using higher quality components than the originalsuch as 1% metal film resistors and higher quality film capacitors anywhere it was possible.The BYOC FET PreAmp is more than just a necessity for someone in a U2 cover band. This is oneof the most amazing boosts and tone shaping tools you'll ever use. Even with 26dB of gain, thetone is extremely clean with a very crisp and snappy pick attack that will make your tube amp breakup very easily. The 2-band Baxandall based EQ is extremely versatile. Not only can it boost & cuttreble and bass, but it can cut mids by simultaneously turning up the treble and bass. And it canboost mids by simultaneously cutting treble and bass to make your guitar tone standout from therest of the mix. But at the same time, it can remain entirely transparent if you just keep the knobs atnoon.The BYOC FET PreAmp is an amazing tone tool that every player should have.We are an authorized BYOC Dealer.Visit our shop:www.geargasstore.comInternational Buyers – Please Note:•Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
