Formula 55 is a JFET preamp/overdrive that emulates a classic Fender tweed 5E3 Deluxe amplifier. Selling because it's not ideal for my rig, and I want to clear out some unused pedals. It's in mint condition, and it comes with everything pictured. Below is a further breakdown of the pedal's features. Thanks for looking!Authentic Amp Response: The Volume and Tone controls replicate the circuitry of the original 5E3 amplifier, offering an authentic tweed amp responseHi/Lo Modes: A "Hi/Lo" switch allows you to select between two different gain stages"Lo" Mode provides a cleaner, more vintage tweed response, similar to the effect of a 12AY7 preamp tube"Hi" Mode akin to "hot rodding" the amp with higher gain tubes (like a 12AX7), delivering more saturation and aggressionDynamic Range: offers a broad sonic range, capable of producing warm, clean jazz tones and dynamic saturation with a percussive "thump" at lower volumesPower Flexibility: can be powered by 9V-18V; running it at 18V provides increased headroom, volume, and percussive attack, while lower voltages offer a softer, more easily saturated soundTrue Bypass: features true bypass switching
