Damage Control, a manufacture of high-end guitar products, has announced the Demonizer Tube Preamp, a pure Class A dual-tube preamplifier pedal with distortion.

The Demonizer is based on an all-analog dual EH12AX7 preamp with opto-compressor and pre/post EQ. The preamp is designed to react like a tube amp’s combined preamp and power amp sections. The true analog Bionic EQ allows tone shaping in both the Pre and Post Tube stages with 2 concentric knobs that shape amplitude and frequency. The Demonizer also features a “magic-eye” average output meter that reacts to your performance levels.

• Dual 12AX7’s

• Included Power Supply
• Analog Tube Circuit Designs
• True switch bypass
• Regulated Switching Power Supply with High Voltage Output for True Amp Level Tube Biasing
• Unique “Magic Eye” Display Technology
• Remote System Architecture for Master Footpedal Control
• Metal Knobs and Switches
• Rugged cast aluminum Mechanical Design
• Bionic Tube Pre & Post Tone Control Features
• Made in USA

Demonizer will be available direct from Damage Control. Price: $349. The Demonizer is expected to ship in October 2004.
