Synonymous with stoner rock and doom metal, the Sunn Beta Lead is one of the most versatile amplifiers ever designed. The unique CMOS distortion circuit generates harmonically rich distortion, which is then shaped by an active EQ circuit with extremely wide range controls. The result is an amp that can go from sparkly clean, to edge of breakup, hard rock and pure fuzz with continuous sweeps of the controls.

About Preamplifiers
This is a preamplifier, and not a distortion pedal. We do not recommend connecting this device to the input of a normal guitar amplifier. Instead, it is best used in one of the following ways:
Connected to the Effects Return / Power Amp Input of a guitar amp
Connect your guitar to the pedal input, and connect the pedal output to the effects return. This bypasses your amplifier's built-in preamp, and the signal goes through the pedal instead.
Connected to a dedicated power amp
Some examples include the Seymour Duncan Powerstage, Harley Benton GPA-100, or the Mooer Baby Bomb.
Connect the pedal directly to an audio interface
For recording purposes, the pedal can be connected to either an instrument or line-level input on your audio interface. Using a speaker cabinet simulation plugin, such as an Impulse Response (IR) loader, to emulate the effect of a speaker cab is highly recommended.
