The Caroline Icarus 2.1 is in a league of its own.Ā There's up to +12db of clean boost with no additional gain just fromĀ the second (volume) stage, but once you add that gain and start to clipĀ the hybrid Russian germanium and silicon diode circuit, you won't want to come back. Based onĀ Caroline'sĀ acclaimed preamp from the Parabolaā¢ and MĆ©tĆ©oreā¢, Icarus expands on it with the multiple gain stages, gently tapered highs control, and buffered/true bypass. All running elegantly at 9VDC with no noise-inducing charge pumps or other goofy frills.
Key Features:
- Up to +12db of clean boost
- Based on the preamp from the Parabola and Meteore pedals
- True Bypass
