CE Preamp(carpet)I have removed the footswitch from my hit product, the CE Preamp. By removing the footswitch and placing the controls on the side, you can easily place this unit directly under other pedals, like a carpet or on the back of the pedalboard.Slight change: I removed the trim inside CE Preamp. This change brought the pedal closer to the original CE-1 tone. About The CE PreampThe CE Preamp is based on the preamp from the BOSS CE-1. The BOSS CE-1 uses ±13V for the preamp section, and the CE Preamp is similarly driven by a 9V power supply internally converted to ±13V. Because it uses the same circuit as CE-1, the CE Preamp also has low impedance. You will hear a muffled sound when you use the CE Preamp. That issue can be solved by placing a buffer pedal in front of CE Preamp. ControlsGAIN : GainPEAK : Glows when excessive input is detected.EFFECT : Always glows when the pedal is driven.HIGH / LOW : High to pass through the amplification circuit, Low to pass through them. ComponentsThe CE Preamp uses Toshiba TA7136AP and 2SC900 silicon NPN transistors, just like the ones used in the BOSS CE-1.
