The Engine by DryBell is a highly versatile and fully analog foundation preamp pedal with distinct voicing inspired by 60's British classic amps and sounds. It consists of two fully analog sections, Side A and Side B. Side A captures the sound, feel, and dynamic response of a real 60's British non-master-volume amp, offering cranked tube-like distortion without the need to play at ear- shattering levels. Side B features a powerful Range boost, high headroom, distortion-free clean boost, and versatile low and high EQ for further tone tailoring. The pedal also allows stacking these A&B; sections with the Order switch to yield numerous rich sounds.
