I just got it Shawn. After your demo I had to have it! I’m getting some bell bottom jeans to go with all the rediculous 70’s rock tones this pedal gets. Thanks for showing this one! My wheelhouse.
Caught in two places, 1. This is by far one of the best sounding pedals I’ve ever heard. 2. Shawn Tubbs makes everything sound good… lol regardless, what a demo! Loved every second! Thanks Shawn for always providing proper depth and demonstration whilst blessing our ears with your playing!!
I’m fortunate to know those guys, some of the nicest people on the planet! Got to try the earliest versions of the 228 and the brass knuckle overdrive and have the 228. Makes everything sound and feel better, don’t know how Jono does it but when you couple being a great player and one of the smartest people I’ve ever met, it’s no surprise really. Great demo Shawn!
Being able to get early feedback from great players like yourself has helped all our pedals hit their respective marks. It is deeply appreciated, mate.
Fantastic demo, incredible playing and so helpfully descriptive of a great pedal! I was lucky to try this out in the early development stages and like other people say, it casts magical fairy dust over everything else on the board. Love it!
Hi shawn , i purchased this unit because of your demo and im not dissapointed ! It definately adds more of that natural harmonic content and the hpf is great for tightening the lows and focusing the mids and highs ,very useful box and different to the usual drive pedals . I must say that Bella amp is very good for pedals , i must try one one day ,
I am in a cover band, and go between my strats and my paul because of the needs of the song... but because the tonal differences and just the volume / level differences it can be a bit tricky (we play venues where we have to watch volume etc...) and I am thinking this would be a good pedal to have when I switch from one to the other
It really is the blend of the two .. as it came together right at 18 minutes for me to think and hear an oh ya that’s it … cutting the lows is always the engineers way but that combo gain really creates that guitarists ow damn I need that vibe … 😁
"into the aforementioned thing that makes it louder",,ahaha but seriously that 228 PRE sounds pretty good! Great playing as always and I realized today one of the reasons why I love your playing so much, it's because it has a hint of Robben Ford in it and that is NOT a bad thing! I hope you don't mind me saying so! thanks Shawn!
I think it's expensive, and the low shelf probably doesn't need some of the lower switch positions....but it sounds good, just not 200+ bones good, going into winter.
If you want to be extra dirty, i'd get that pedal. Trying to capture the sound of a red hot iron bar is difficult and in my opinion the 228 is the best i've heard. Thank you Mr Tubbs ...G...
Those are all my sounds I will have to get one pretty much have all those sounds but I think I can definitely take it over the top a little bit more with that unit what will they think of next?
Interesting tone coming out of that. Even with all the different guitars, its like more of a finely tuned EQ/boost. Its giving the amp a natural OD without using a clipping diode or tube screamer.
I doubt that it's a shelving type bass cut (which implies an even cut from the corner frequency all the way down. This would be similar to a baxandall style tone circuit used on a home stereo). Usually, the -3db point is the corner frequency, or the frequency where the filter starts to take effect. It's most likely a first order filter rolling off at 6db per octave, which is easily implemented with a simple capacitor and resistor (or switched capacitors for selection). It is easily calculated by the formula 1/(2*pi*resistor*capacitor). The resistor would be the terminating impedance to ground with the capacitor in series with the signal. For example, a 100k resistance and 0.1uF capacitor would give a -3db frequency of 15.9Hz.
I was just thinking the other day "I wonder if someone's made a preamp/boost pedal based around a mic pre?" Now I know that yes. And I know that yes it does sound fucking rad.
It sounds great. I wonder how much different in sound is from a RC booster for example, thats the one i have (white one and the new with 2 gains). Sounds like they are similar.
Cool tune. Bro you can frekin play. So what's the signal flow we're hearing here? Can it work DI into a DAW? When you engaged the 228 at 8:00 it really sounded 'mic'd' .
Thanks so much! Guitar > 228 PRE > Friedman DS40 > UA OX > Apogee Quartet. You could certainly run it direct into your DAW but it's really designed to run to the front of an amp.
@ thanks shawn , love your playing ,the vid you did about bonamassa etc was interesting and wish i could breakdown what you played on there some very tasty noodling
I would think, especially for keys it would be great. Anything from a Rhodes to a Wurlitzer and beyond. It would be good for vocals but I would be less apt to use it for that application.

That 228 preamp made EVERYTHING sound better! Now I want one. 😊
Thanks for watching!

Sounds incredible. Love how you use a tyler, lsl, hamer, suhr and gibson in one demo. It is good to be Tubbs.
I'm very lucky to have those guitars. Thanks so much for watching!
I actually bought my first Suhr because of Shawn... too bad I don't have his skills and talent🤣
Sinvertek's stuff is insane, and you always do a killer job highlighting how good they sound! Awesome as always, Shawn!

Lovely piece of music introducing the video and what pristine tones. Enjoyable, merci.
Thanks so much!
Your reviews are always informative, and your playing is enjoyable and inspirational. Thank you Shawn👍🏼🎸
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
@ShawnTubbs you're welcome my friend.
Beautiful demo dude!
228 sounds unreal!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Shawn! Another fantastic Tune and Pedal! You made This Pedal Sing!
Thanks very much!!

Thank you, sir!
This pedal sounds fantastic! Thanks for the video! Love from Sweden 🎸
Thanks so much for chiming in from Sweden!!
Thanks Shawn! 228PRE could be a big help for homerecording.

@ i do thanks ! Its gonna be tough to find one particular use for it on my new board as its good for many things 👍
Wow. I think I could use that in front of my JTM45… between the fuzz and OD of course….🙌🙌🙌🙌 sounds amazing. Thank you.
Yeah, it would work nicely! Thanks for watching!
Another album of your demo songs, please!
dude is one of the best guitarists on the planet.
You're very kind indeed.
Well it’s half the size of the Enhancifier, which is handy! Will get them side by side and we’ll see. Great vid always, ST.
Beautiful! 🧡
Wow, that's a great sounding pedal. 👍
Nothing like having a good tailor and for your equipment too
I can tell Shawn is a huge Jeff Beck fan!
His playing reminds me a lot of Dominick Miller.
Snappy and fun to dance to. I give it an 8!
Great seeing you! What a great player you are.
Thanks so much!!
You got some greezy lixx, dude 🤘🏿
Sounds nice. That form factor, though. I'd go for it if the jacks were on the short side.

Thanks so much! I'm an RF fan for sure!
i love how u use so many of your killin guitars in sll your demos. awesome as usual brother. 👍
Thanks very much!!

I'm enjoying the video 😎

The RC would be quite a bit more active from an eq standpoint.
@@ShawnTubbs thx for the reply
Súper.!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's quite the arrangement on the intro. Who cares what the pedal sounds like, you make music lol
Cool tune. Bro you can frekin play. So what's the signal flow we're hearing here? Can it work DI into a DAW? When you engaged the 228 at 8:00 it really sounded 'mic'd' .

@@ShawnTubbs Figured. I'm playing around with the notion of a 'in the box' solution after having to sell my Mesa Mark IV =(
i'm always in search of good dirt. that's good dirt. is that a vega trem on the tuttle?
Thanks for watching! That's a Tuttle trem.
you do seem to make every pedal or amp sound great , maybe its just you but I am intrigued to know if this is on your pedal board
This one will be a keeper. I'm really impressed with Electron Brothers.
@ thanks shawn , love your playing ,the vid you did about bonamassa etc was interesting and wish i could breakdown what you played on there some very tasty noodling
Sounds great. Have you tried the preamp on vocals or keys?
It would be great there too for sure.
I would think, especially for keys it would be great. Anything from a Rhodes to a Wurlitzer and beyond. It would be good for vocals but I would be less apt to use it for that application.
Whoo! Gain and harmonic feedback. Or a slight bit 'o hair.
be nice just before a slight digital delay.
Give it da juice
But why? I use your Tilt Boost: enough for me>>> booster and accurate EQ.
Glad you're happy with the Tilt Boost! The 228 is a different box altogether in that it's a preamp with input and output stages.
You want negative feedback? Judging by the comments you’re clearly doing something wrong
Took me a minute. . 😂
sounds good.Not blown away. Just sayin
Thanks for watching and for chiming in!
Wow is this thing expensive :(
$237
Yeah, it nice if I ever lose my FA-1 as the next best thing, meanwhile I'm happy.
hmmmmm interesting
Überflissig wia an Kropf! Nimm an Buuschter und an TrebleBuuschter!!
Except I only wear t-shirts and jeans
