more from DredgeTone
​
John Joseph at DredgeTone (Olympia, WA) has been as prodigious as ever in 2026 including the four(!) latest pedals—three of which are limited run:
Sunn Beta Lead Preamp (10-12 units) – Sunn worshippers take note: a DT-modified Sunn Beta Lead preamp. The gain is absolutely incredible, as is the range of tones available from adjusting your guitar’s volume knob.
AmpLess Analog Amp Sim (about 15 units) – based on Tech21 SansAmp, with modern and inventive updates; low noise floor; excels at an OD amp sound (i.e. in a small room)
Angler Bass Overdrive – This pedal had something of a cult following back in the day. The new version adds a variable blend control and you get to choose your diodes. I know the Germanium (1N34A) diodes are the pinnacle for Klon’s but, given only one choice, I recommend the original silicon (1N4148 or 1N914) diodes for the Angler. The latter have a truly unique character that really cuts through a mix.
JFP 2026 - JFET Preamplifier (8-10 units) - A variable gain preamplifier pedal utilizing an ultra-low noise JFET as the amplifier element. The power requirements are 12V to 18V, with the additional headroom you’d expect at higher voltages.
Today, John told me that one of his next releases will be a fuzz/octave/swell combining the BOSS SG-1 Slow Gear and Foxx Tone Machine fuzz. I can’t wait.
