Description

The Dallas Tuxedo was a British-made valve-driven boost and treble booster unit from the late 1950s, part of the small wave of early standalone gain devices that predated the fuzz and overdrive pedal boom of the mid-1960s. Units like the Tuxedo were built to push an already-driven amplifier harder or add treble emphasis for lead work, functioning more like an outboard preamp stage than a modern stompbox. Dallas would later become closely associated with the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face.

The TC Electronic Dual Wreck Preamp is a high-gain preamp pedal from TC Electronic's AmpWorx series, recreating the preamp character of the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amplifier with thick, scooped modern American high-gain tone in a compact pedal format.
