Preamp Crunch Plus

PREAMP

CHORUS

The PastFx Preamp Crunch Plus is an expansion of the PastFx Preamp Crunch Classic, which is the isolated preamp from our Chorus Ensemble in its own enclosure. Like the Classic, the pedal features a high/low signal switch, as well an on/off switch to activate or deactivate a buffer in the circuit. The standard Level Control, which determines the amount of crunch in the preamp signal, shapes the overall tone, gain level, and volume output of the effect. The Plus (+) version features an additional Master Control, allowing players to adjust the overall volume to compensate for higher gain settings on the Level Control, or to achieve unity gain at any point in the Level sweep. With the Master Control set fully clockwise, the Preamp Crunch Plus operates with the same stock circuit as the Preamp Crunch Classic, characterised by its warm, chimey crunch, saturation, and natural compression as the Level Control is engaged. However, turning the Master Control counter-clockwise will steadily lower the pedal’s volume floor, offering the ability to crank the Level up without fear of waking the neighbours!
