I Need a Preamp Pedal

[BeZo]

...For a kazoo. I knew if I put "Kazoo" in the title you guys wouldn't have clicked.

BUT SINCE YOU'RE HERE:

I need a preamp pedal for a kazoo. I was thinking like an acoustic preamp and DI kinda pedal, or maybe just boost and EQ. I don't need much gain, but some compression would be nice. What would you suggest?

something custom from Griffin Analog

I've got my version of a DOD BI-FET Preamp coming in with the Monkey's

Is it like an electric kazoo? Miced?

Yeah. It's a custom kazoo designed to fit the Kazoobie Humbucker kazoo pickup. I run it into a EHX Pitchfork and a Zcat Delay-Reverb pedal. I want a preamp pedal for it.

I guess. I was using a Barcus Berry 1330-1 preamp like this, but it's noisy as shit.

I'm not to up to speed on Kazoo pre amps ..... I can build something based around an audio transformer .... instead of a transistor or op amp

 

[griff10672]

I could build you one of these ....

At least that guy spoke English.

Yeah, something like that, but maybe with compression. I never used compression on kazoo, and I feel like a fool admitting that. I don't have a spare compressor pedal laying around, but I repurposed my Booster Mini and my Pultec EQ pedals to try out. Maybe a clean(ish) boost and a compressor might do the trick.
