The GAINLORD is a dual-channel preamp/overdrive inspired by classic British amps of the late ’60s through the ’80s, the amps that defined hard rock.

Built on real high-voltage tube circuitry, it delivers the same punch, harmonic richness, and touch-sensitive response as the originals — in a compact pedal format.

The two channels cover a wide range of voices. The low-gain channel is open and gritty, sitting at the edge of breakup around 9 o’clock. Push it harder, and a grainy crunch unfolds, with a sagging low end that adds warmth and body. The high-gain channel is tighter and more aggressive, with defined notes and extra top-end bite, yet it still cleans up naturally when you roll back the guitar’s volume.

Both channels include a Bright switch that adds presence; on the high-gain channel, it can act as a subtle gain boost. A 3.5mm TRS jack allows remote control of channel switching and the high-gain Bright.

The output level reaches approx. 80% of the standard line level. The Tone Cut switch offers two modes: a full-output preamp for power amps or cab sims, or an overdrive-pedal mode with a lower level and scooped high-mids for front-of-amp use.

Power is supplied via the included AC/DC adapter or any 12V DC, 500mA pedalboard power supply. If a single output provides less than 500 mA, two 12V outputs can be combined using a current-doubling cable. Do not exceed 12VDC.

The GAINLORD can be used in front of an amp, into a power amp, or with a cab simulator, bringing the golden era of hard rock tones to any setup.

Preamp & Amp Sim Pedals

Amp and cab simulator pedals recreate the sound and response of guitar amplifiers, speaker cabinets and microphones in a compact pedal format. They are useful for recording direct, practising silently, running straight into a PA, or building a pedalboard that does not rely on a traditional amp.

Many amp and cab sims include different amplifier voices, impulse responses, EQ controls and headphone outputs. They are a strong choice for modern guitarists who need consistent tone at home, in the studio and on stage without carrying heavy amplifiers and speaker cabinets.

Preamp

Preamp pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Preamp related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
