EIGHTY-SIXED - EF86 TUBE PREAMP / OVERDRIVE

The de Lisle Eighty-Sixed is a tube preamp born of our unique amplifier designs. The tube line up includes an EF86 pentode fronted by a 12AX7 twin-triode. This arrangement allows the true character of the pentode to be heard, since it can be driven by a larger signal than those produced by guitar pickups. And by cranking up the Gain knob, the Eighty-Sixed makes a fantastic tube overdrive pedal. No opamps, transistors or clipping diodes--what you get is 100% high voltage pentode overdrive.
