Jackson Audio has reimagined one of the most coveted amps of yesteryear in pedal form. As the name suggests, the Twin Twelve Silvertone 1484 Preamplifier is a recreation of the preamp stage in the original amplifier.
Enjoyed by such legendary performers as Jack White, Dave Grohl, Beck, Billie Joe Armstrong and Dan Auerbach, to name but a few, the original Twin Twelve was only available from 1963 to 1967.
Now, in conjunction with Silvertone, Jackson Audio is offering what it's calling an "exact recreation" of the original 1484's preamp stage and so delivers that unique Twin Twelve sound all in a pedal.
The new Twin Twelve pedal can be used as either a preamp, booster, EQ or overdrive and is housed in a vintage-looking housing with top-mounted jacks.
