Red Stone

The Redstone: Your Cosmic Preamp Companion

Introducing the Redstone, a versatile preamp pedal that pays tribute to the pioneering spirit of the early NASA launch vehicles. An evolved version of our Mercury platform, the Redstone is crafted to be your steadfast ally in exploring the vast cosmos of sound.

Rich, Vintage Tone

At its core, the Redstone boasts a vintage NOS germanium transistor and a robust 3-band tone stack. Inspired by the classic tube amp input stage, it combines a discrete opamp with high headroom to deliver up to 40dB of gain. This integration ensures an incredibly rich and detailed harmonic sparkle, enhancing your tone with depth and presence when pushed to its limits.

Expanded Control

The Redstone offers additional control over gain and tone compared to its predecessor, the Mercury. Whether you’re dialing in subtle nuances or driving it hard for powerful tones, the Redstone’s high headroom and finely tuned tone stack ensure your sound is always full and dynamic.

Versatile and All Analog

Designed to excel with guitar, bass, and baritone, the Redstone provides a wide range of tonal possibilities. With all analog signal paths and the option to run at 12V for even greater headroom, it’s built to handle a variety of musical contexts with ease and clarity.
