Overview

This is a tube preamp inspired by the boutique Dumble Steel String Singer amps, whose clean tones are highly acclaimed. The clean tone, which distorts exquisitely when it's picked hard, is unparalleled in its beauty, and it is no wonder that it has been used by legendary guitarists throughout history.

The 3-band EQ, High/Low Filter, and 3 mini-switches allow for a wide range of sound creation.

By placing it at the last stage of your effects chain and plugging it to the returns of various amplifiers, you can get a more constant “tube sound” in any studio. In addition to the return connection, simply connecting it to the input of a transistor amp also works musically. It can also be connected directly to various speaker simulator pedals.

Use it when you plug your guitar into the line input of your audio interface to get a more natural electric guitar sound. For recording at home or practicing with headphones.

Controls

• GAIN: Adjusts the input gain to the Clean channel.
• Bright: Adds high frequency to the sound.
• Deep: Lowers the center of gravity of the sound and makes it sound “deeper”.
• Rock / Jazz: Changes the overall volume as well as the characteristics of the 3-band EQ.
• 3-band EQ: This is a development of the Fender-type EQ, and the effect changes seamlessly with the aforementioned GAIN and various mini-switches. Try different combinations.
• FILTER: Two types of rotary filter sections, HIGH and LOW, are used to create the unique sound of SSS.
• MASTER: This adjusts the overall volume. It does not affect the tone of the preamplifier itself, so you can reproduce the sound you created at home in the studio as it is.

!CAUTIONS! Please make sure to read

• Use a 12V DC (center-negative, 500mA or more recommended) adapter or power supply. Some adapters may generate noise. Use of a non-standard voltage supply that exceeds 12V DC (e.g., 18V DC, etc.) is very dangerous as it may cause component damage or ignition. Any non-standard power input will immediately cause the product to stop working. Please be very careful. If you are in doubt about the
  adapter to use, please feel free to contact us.
• After use, be sure to unplug the DC jack or turn off the main power of the AC adapter or power supply to avoid a state in which power is continuously supplied to the pedals. Continuous use for long periods of time may cause the unit to malfunction or shorten the life of the vacuum tubes. You can also turn off the power to the unit by unplugging the input jack.
• There are points inside the pedal where a high-voltage current of 300 V or more can flow. Never open the back cover while the power supply is connected. Even if the power is disconnected, touching the electronic components immediately after use may release the electricity built up in the electrolytic capacitors, resulting in a risk of electric shock. Replacement of vacuum tubes should be done at your own risk, taking the above into consideration.
• This pedal is driven by a vacuum tube at high voltage, which releases heat from several components during use. When using the pedal board, be careful not to completely block the heat dissipation holes on the side of the pedal.
• The vacuum tubes are not fully warmed up for a few minutes after the power is turned on, and noise may be heard in the sound.

Peace Hill FX uses high-end and vintage parts for the main parts, and each unit is hand-made with care.

Because they are handmade, products are slightly different for each unit. We make each pedal with the idea that "it" is "your one and only". Due to the nature of the product, it is impossible to make a uniform product, but we strictly select the parts to be used and only make products that meet our standards.

All of our pedals are manufactured in Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture, a city where you can feel the four seasons along with the magnificent waterfalls flowing down, and we place great importance on the beauty of the exterior and wiring, as well as the breath of Japan with the awareness of "once in a lifetime”.
