NTMB Outboard Preamp
The Bartolini NTMB Outboard Preamp is a versatile and powerful pedal that deserves a spot on any serious guitarist's pedalboard. This compact unit packs a serious punch, serving as both a dynamic boost and a rich, harmonically-complex overdrive. At its core, the NTMB is a high-quality preamp that can dramatically shape your guitar's tone. Crank the "Gain" knob and you'll unlock a thick, creamy overdrive that adds incredible sustain and harmonic content to your sound. But don't mistake this for a one-trick pony - the "Volume" and "Tone" controls give you precise control over the pedal's output, allowing you to seamlessly integrate it into your rig. What really sets the NTMB apart is its versatility. Roll back the "Gain" for a transparent boost that can push your amp into sweet, singing overdrive. Or use it as a standalone preamp to beef up your clean tone before it hits the rest of your effects. The possibilities are endless, making this an indispensable tool for guitarists seeking to expand their sonic palette. Rumor has it that blues virtuoso Stevie Ray Vaughan was a fan of the NTMB's predecessor, the Bartolini Preamp, using it to sculpt his legendary tone. While we can't say for certain, it's easy to imagine the NTMB helping modern players achieve similarly rich, dynamic sounds. If you're looking to take your guitar tone to new heights, the Bartolini NTMB Outboard Preamp is well worth the investment.
