Keeley Electronics has unveiled its latest pedal, the Germanium Amplifier.
Hand-built by Robert Keeley himself, the Germanium Amplifier is designed to be the first stompbox in a pedal chain.
It features a carefully selected Tungsram AC125 germanium PNP transistor, a single output knob and an internal bias control to obtain more or less gain.
Powered by a standard 9V battery or isolated power supply, the Germanium Amplifier is available to order for $299 direct from Keeley Electronics, with a four-six-week lead time.
