On a quest for a more explosive sound at a less perilous price, Helms Alee guitarist Ben Verellen designed the Meatsmoke preamp, delivering an overdrive boost for bass or guitar via a pedal format. Encased in thickset steel that’s ideal for relentless abuse, the Meatsmoke includes three-band EQ, gain control, and volume control and runs directly into a DAW, mixing board, or tape machine.
