PRE-OWNED Xotic Effects BB Preamp

The Xotic BB Preamp: Transparent Boost and Smooth Overdrive in One Box

Dynamic Tube-Like Overdrive

The Xotic BB Preamp is a studio-grade drive pedal celebrated for its ability to deliver the kind of touch-sensitive response normally reserved for high-end tube amplifiers. This pre-owned example works perfectly and remains in very good condition, showing only light external wear. Whether you use it as a clean boost to push your amp’s front end or as a smooth, compressed overdrive, the BB Preamp retains your guitar’s natural character while adding a refined harmonic warmth.

Tonal Flexibility and Control

With its active two-band EQ and gain controls, the BB Preamp offers up to 30 dB of clean boost alongside an impressive range of overdrive textures. The bass and treble knobs each provide ±15 dB of adjustment, making it easy to tailor your tone for single-coil sparkle, humbucker punch, or anything in between. It’s equally at home sweetening clean passages or tightening up high-gain rhythm tones.

Studio-Grade Transparency

Designed to preserve nuance and articulation, the BB Preamp shines in both live and recording environments. It responds beautifully to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes, maintaining clarity even at higher gain levels. The true bypass switching ensures your tone remains pure when the pedal is disengaged.

Built to Perform

Xotic pedals are known for their reliability and roadworthy build, and this unit upholds that reputation. Every control feels solid and precise, the footswitch engages smoothly, and the enclosure is built to endure the rigors of stage use. No power supply is included, so be sure to use your own regulated 9-volt adapter or battery for operation.

Ready to Inspire

Compact, versatile, and remarkably musical, the Xotic BB Preamp has earned its place on pedalboards around the world. From shimmering cleans to creamy saturation, it delivers a professional edge that inspires creativity and enhances any rig.
