Black Eye II is a medium-high gain preamp/distortion based on the Soldano Supercharger GTO. A few changes have been made, most notably that the single-knob tone control was swapped in favor of a Baxandall tonestack, and a Bass Boost switch was added. The bass boost isn’t a huge drastic change, but it opens up the low end frequency response to make the pedal more suitable for use on bass. With the gain all the way down you get an almost-clean, or fully dimes you can get monstrously aggressive, face-melting distortion.

The JC Emerald is based on the preamp of the legendary Marshall JCM800. It has been modified to make it more suitable for pedal/preamp use while staying true to the original JCM800 design. This latest version includes some additional toggle switches to make the preamp design more flexible.

Finally V.2 WBIM Edition

Neptunium is, as its name implies, based on the Nobelium preamp, which is in turn based on the incredible Noble preamp. The key feature of Nobelium is the XLR D.I. output, which only uses one tube, so I was asked if it would be possible to squeeze just that part into a much smaller enclosure. The result is Neptunium.

Neptunium is a great-sounding, simple to use tube preamp with a D.I. output for going straight to front of house or a recording interface. It features a two-band tonestack based on the classic Fender/Marshall/Vox tonestack. Both controls are boost-only, so a “flat” response is achieved with both controls all the way off.

One way in which Neptunium differs from the Noble preamp is in volume controls; the volume control on the face affects the 1/4″ output, but rather than make the XLR output a fixed level, a separate volume control affecting the XLR output was added to the side of the pedal next to the XLR jack above the ground lift switch.
