The Behringer PB100 is a preamp and clean booster pedal based on the Nobels PRE-1 circuit, designed to add gain and presence to the signal chain without adding significant coloration or distortion character. Primarily used as a transparent signal boost for weak-output pickups, a clean buffer, or an input boost ahead of a tube amplifier to drive the preamp stage harder with minimal tonal change. The PRE-1 topology provides clean, low-noise signal amplification with minimal tone shaping of its own. Suited for jazz, country, and clean pop styles where preserving the guitar and amp character is essential. A budget entry to preamp boost functionality.
The Browne Amplification The Fixer is a dual boost and buffer pedal designed as a robust, gig-worthy signal chain management tool. It provides two independent boost channels with a high-quality buffer stage, suited for players who need transparent signal boost, impedance management, and tone preservation in complex signal chains. Part of Browne Amplification's Kansas City-made handbuilt lineup.
