PRE-OWNED Xotic BB Preamp

The Xotic BB Preamp: Boutique-Level Boost Meets Smooth Overdrive

Versatile Tone Shaping with Boutique Precision

The BB Preamp from Xotic is a pedalboard favorite for players chasing amp-like breakup, studio-grade transparency, and just the right push. Whether you're coaxing harmonically rich crunch from a clean amp or stacking it into an already-driven signal chain, this pedal gives you a generous helping of boutique-style tone with precise EQ sculpting.

Rich Overdrive and Massive Headroom

The BB Preamp offers up to 30dB+ of clean boost and includes an active two-band EQ with ±15dB of control at 90Hz and 10kHz, letting you dial in everything from fat, wooly textures to bright, focused edge. The pre-gain stage brings a natural compression and saturation that's smooth and highly touch-responsive, a real asset for dynamic players who want their picking nuances to shine.

Built-In Clarity, Built for the Stage

Built with true bypass switching, the BB Preamp ensures that your signal remains completely transparent when disengaged. This particular unit shows cosmetic wear from practical use, including velcro applied to the bottom and visible paint wear around the screw holes. That said, it remains fully functional and ready to deliver signature BB tone night after night.

Compact, Pedalboard-Ready Design

Despite its tonal complexity, the BB Preamp remains compact and durable, easily integrating into any pedalboard setup. It runs on a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply (not included), or a single 9V battery accessible by removing the bottom plate.
