The Chimera PreAmp is a compact device that replicates the versatile tonal capabilities of the preamp found in the Chimera 30 amplifier. Although we don’t have the actual amp for comparison, the circuitry of this preamp produces excellent sound quality.With a wide range of gain settings, you can achieve anything from a subtle boost to a crunchy high-gain tone. The EQ section allows for seamless transitions between twangy, bright sounds and thick, booming lows.The original design features a B2M pot, but we have included pads so that you can use a dual B1M pot instead, which is more easily accessible. You can choose between through-hole or surface mount FETs, depending on your comfort level with soldering small surface mount components.Overall, the Chimera PreAmp is a sweet little box that delivers impressive tonal range and flexibility, making it a great addition to any guitarist’s setup.
