Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Engine is a seriously cool little preamp – it nails that vintage British amp vibe. The dual-channel design and the unique 'Range' control offer a surprising amount of tonal sculpting. This is perfect for guitarists chasing a warm, saturated overdrive or a clean platform for other effects, especially those aiming for classic rock or blues tones.
