BOOSTER/PREAMP- HELLO SAILOR Hofner Harmonic Preamp

$265.00 USD
HELLO SAILOR
HOFNER HARMONIC PREAMP
In the 50's a few players discovered that if you took the preamp out a movie projector or a radio or a small mixing board meant for radio broadcast mics etc. it was a killer boost pedal. When building these a manufacturer could buy a generic schematic. The Hofner Preamp was 
one such design.
CONCLUSION __
This unit stays true to the original design & therefore uses NOS military grade vintage British Germanium transistors.
Audio parts by todays standards created a lot of mud so designs that added a bit of exaggerate overtones/harmonics were made to give the sound definition.

JV Effects Transmission. 
Same but better. When dimed it is a 
killer Fuzz. As just a Pre in front 
of a chain of stacked dirt pedals it 
is a mud remover. That is how 
I use mine. Made in Malta. 
$125.00 USD
