The Lightkeeper is an all-tube preamp based on the legendary clean channel of the Dumble Overdrive Special "High Plate" design. It is an excellent choice for those running it directly to a power amp or fx-return.

Key Features

  • Deep / Boost Toggle – The three-way Deep and Boost toggle switches offer a wide range of tone tweaking. When set in the middle position, they can also be controlled by the on-board or external footswitch.
  • The Cleanest of Tube Feel – The Lightkeeper makes a great pedal platform and delivers the ‘tube feel’ to any ampless setup.

This preamp is all about bright clarity and articulation. It's got a vintage Fender vibe but with tighter bass and more prominent mids, thanks to the Dumble-refined tone stack, which takes a classic Fender circuit to the next level.

The Lightkeeper operates on a standard 12VDC voltage, which is boosted inside the pedal up to 280VDC for optimal performance of the 12AX7 tube.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Stuff About Preamp Pedals

Preamp pedals are designed to shape and boost a guitar’s core tone, often acting as the front end of an amplifier or as a complete amp-style sound on a pedalboard. They can add clean gain, warmth, EQ control, or amp-like drive, and are commonly used to improve signal strength, push an amp harder, or run directly into a power amp or recording interface. Understanding output level, EQ controls and how they interact with other pedals helps players use preamp pedals effectively in both live and studio setups.

The Important stuff

Clean. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.. preamp. Tube.
