Preamp
Every guitarist shapes their voice over the years — through experience, skill, and, of course, their own signature tone.
Beastbox features three channels, a switchable FX loop, an IR section, Headphones output and MIDI control.
The preamp integrates easily into any modern rig thanks to MIDI control — both wired and over Bluetooth.
Beastbox works equally well into a guitar stack, power amp, or straight into an audio interface.
Beastbox Identities
- Fully tube-driven architectureWe believe tubes have a character nothing else can replicate. Four gain stages in Beastbox are here to prove it
- Genuine Tubes VoltageDon't let the compact power supply confuse you — the tubes run on proper high voltage. Clean, silent and interference-free
- Three ChannelsClean, Crunch and Lead give you plenty of room to shape the tone you're after
- IR Amp / Cab EmulationBeastbox emulates not just the cabinet, but the amp as well. Load up to four impulse responses and assign your own pair to each channel
- Switchable FX LoopRoute all your modulation through the loop and bypass it in one stomp. In Tails mode, delay trails fade out naturally without a hard cut
- HeadPhonesHear every nuance of your playing — even at the lowest volume. Plug your phone into the AUX input and jam along to а bactrack
- Bluetooth MIDIControl a variety of parameters via MIDI.. Send commands over cable or connect wirelessly to your computer or controller via Bluetooth
- Made in BelarusComponents for Beastbox come from around the world — but every Beastbox is assembled and tested by hand
