Description


The LIGHTKEEPER™ is an all-tube preamp inspired by the clean channel of the D-style "high-plate" amplifier. This preamp shines with its bright clarity and articulation, capturing the essence of a vintage American tone while offering tighter bass and more pronounced mids. It includes a distinctive "Skyline" tonestack that enhances the traditional 3-band circuit, allowing for less interactive and more precise tone control.

The LIGHTKEEPER™ can serve as an exceptional pedal platform, providing that sought-after tube feel for any setup without an amp. It's particularly well-suited for direct connection to a power amp or FX return. You can also plug it into the front of your amp, although the outcome will heavily rely on your amplifier's internal preamp characteristics.

With its three-way Deep and Boost toggle switches, the LIGHTKEEPER™ offers a wide range of tone adjustments. When positioned in the middle setting, these controls can be operated via the onboard or an external footswitch, giving you even greater flexibility.
