Xotic Bass BB Preamp True Bypass Bass Pedal

Description

The Xotic Bass BB Preamp earns its spot at the front of a bass signal chain by doing one thing exceptionally well: adding gain without sacrificing the low-end that makes your tone feel massive. Dial the gain knob back and it acts as a transparent booster, thickening your clean signal with extra presence for cutting through a dense mix. Push it further and the Bass BB moves into break-up territory, offering everything from a gentle edge to smooth, saturated distortion — all while the low frequencies stay defined and tight instead of collapsing into mud.

This version brings a top-mounted DC jack for cleaner pedalboard wiring, plus flexible 9-18V DC operation so you can run it hotter for extra headroom. White “Top Hat” knobs replace the originals for better visibility from the stage floor. Built around true bypass switching, it stays out of your tone entirely when off, making it an easy always-on candidate for players who want a permanent gain-shaping stage in their chain.
