Eighty-Sixed - EF86 Tube Preamp / Overdrive
Unleash the pure, unadulterated power of pentode overdrive with the de Lisle Eighty-Sixed. This tube preamp pedal is a true tone connoisseur's delight, eschewing modern op-amps and transistors in favor of the vintage magic of an EF86 pentode and 12AX7 dual-triode. By driving the EF86 with a robust signal, the Eighty-Sixed coaxes out its rich, harmonically-complex character, delivering a smooth, creamy overdrive that's worlds apart from the brittle clipping of solid-state circuits. But the Eighty-Sixed is no one-trick pony. Its custom-designed push-pull tone control allows you to sculpt your sound, scooping mids for a more aggressive, scooped tone or flattening the response for a more balanced, amp-like character. And with dual outputs - a "Hi" for powering the input of an amp's power section, and a "Lo" for seamless integration into your pedal chain - the Eighty-Sixed offers unparalleled flexibility. Handwired with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines de Lisle's acclaimed amplifiers, the Eighty-Sixed is built to withstand the rigors of the stage. Its rugged aluminum chassis, durable silver sparkle finish, and lifetime warranty ensure this pedal will be a trusty sidekick for years to come. So if you're seeking the holy grail of tube overdrive, look no further than the de Lisle Eighty-Sixed - the ultimate expression of pure pentode power.
