The Stand Alone X Analoguetube Love Bomb is an all tube Overdrive / Preamp pedal, designed by music producer Gareth Johnson of Stand Alone Productions and tube guru Simon Saywood of Analoguetube. Lovingly hand made in London, England, the Love Bomb is built from only the finest components, delivering a truly unique playing experience.

The (not so) secret to the Love Bomb's authentic amp like tone is a military spec NOS 6948 sub-miniature tube, which was originally designed to power missile guidance systems during the Cold War! Thankfully for us guitarists though, the tubes have been repurposed to deliver a plethora of satisfying tones from a clean boost, to a warm crunch, to a highly saturated, searing distortion. The Love Bomb is built like a tank too so you can be sure it will stand up against the rigours of the road time after time.

Key Features 

  • HPF – Tighten up low end with a switchable 75hz High Pass Filter
  • Overdrive – Huge gain range available from clean boost to tube fuzz
  • Bias – 6 position switch to control the Bias and gain range of the 6948 Tube
  • Sag – Fully sweepable to control the amount of Sag in 6948 Tube Output
  • LPF – 6 position high frequency filter to tailor HF response.
  • Output – High level output to tailor how your signal hits your amplifier
  • The controls are all interactive and allow complex gain structures to be achieved, thus far unavailable in a single pedal format.

Preamp & DI Pedals

A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.

Overdrive

Uses moderate clipping and gain-dependent compression to add harmonics while retaining much of the original note contour. Bass filtering, mid emphasis, clipping symmetry and available headroom decide whether it sounds open and amplifier-like, tightly focused or heavily saturated.
