Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Facepunch do to a tube amp?
It pushes the first preamp stage up to 20 dB harder, adding saturation, with Freq and Smooth controls to shape where that push lands.
Is it an overdrive or a boost?
A boost with a triode-overload response, so it behaves more like an extra tube stage than a distortion circuit.
How do I tighten my low end with it?
Raise the Freq control to focus the boost away from the lows; lower it to add thickness back.
What power does it need?
Standard 9V operation.
