The HoneyBoy Guitar Preamp
This is a one of a kind custom build for Steve "HoneyBoy" Vuich. I had been
looking over a very cool website, www.runoffgroove.com, and thought these
designs are really cool. I wanted to build a useful preamp for Steve to use
that will fit into his guitar case and sound very much like an amp rather than a
straight up distortion. This is what I made.
It's a Professor Tweed and an English Channel built into a convenient pedal.
There's very minor changes such as the Bright switch. One thing you may
have already noticed, it's not bypassable. That's simply because it's not
meant to be a distortion but rather a preamp. Now he can just go straight to a
P.A. without hauling around an amp or he can go into someone else's amp
and still have his sound. You could run this right into a power amp and blast.
The inside is pretty clean and easy enough. It's about 7x4 so it has a
footprint. One nice bit is a reverb or delay can go after it and have the chain
in the correct order.
