How to build a tube preamp pedal
The Persuader Deluxe utilizes a Darlington preamp to push cascaded triodes into distortion. Four dual triode
tubes included with the kit provide a wide range of tones from just a hint of break up from the JJ 5751 to over
the top crunchy distortion using the NOS 12AT7. A boost switch provides an additional layer of flexibility
with added gain and a little extra bottom end. An LED indicator lights up when the Persuader Deluxe is
engaged and not in true bypass mode.
