guitar valve preamp pedal D1 Valve Overdrive – Joe's PedalsThe story of the D1 begins with the idea of creating an all valve overdrive that could be used as an extension of any amplifier.

The story of the D1 begins with the idea of creating an all-valve overdrive that could be used as an extension of any amplifier. This unit would run at real voltage, so, rather than simply sounding and feeling like a valve amplifier, the D1 would sound and react to the touch as an all-valve amplifier. In fact, one could think of this piece as a modular valve preamp section to insert wherever the lovely touch response and natural valve compression of real glowing bottles is needed. The idea seemed obvious to us – when a musician has invested in a quality guitar and amplifier, or grown accustomed to the sound of this perfect pair, why not maintain that signal integrity with a tonally pure, zero-compromise valve overdrive?

An integral element of our design ethos has always been the fact that less is more. A simple, direct signal path enables all the nuances of the player’s touch to translate from their fingers to the speaker, without getting lost in the tributaries of complex tone-stacks. With this less features and more tone mantra, we took the D1 to the prototype stage…

The first 20 were housed in off-the-shelf alloy boxes and simply sported output and gain controls. This deceptively simple circuit acted as a lead channel for classic amps and with the onboard boost, could turn a single channel non-master-volume amp into a tri-tiered tone machine. Having achieved our goal of a full frequency, all-valve preamp-in-a-pedal, we could have stopped there. However, with feedback from some top industry players who were field-testing these prototypes, it became apparent that the D1 could be much more than merely the perfect amp extension.

The second evolution of the D1 saw some minimal, yet crucial additions. It turned out that the early D1 recipients were using the device outside of the intended guitar-to-amp bridge application. They found that in the studio, the D1 could integrate into DAW setups and fortify the realism of amp modeling software. Some even used our valve overdrive as a mic preamp. For more seamless integration into a growing number of scenarios, we added a rotary top boost/cut control and the ability to preset the boost for low, medium and high portions of gain when engaged. We also re-housed the D1 in a grained stainless steel enclosure.

The current production D1 Overdrive marks a culmination of years spent refining the circuit, prototype production and field-testing feedback from professional working guitarists. From the beginning, our goal throughout this journey was to bridge the gap between player, pedal and amp by creating an all valve overdrive that runs at proper voltages. Because of this design approach, The D1 will respond to picking dynamics and volume changes, just like the onboard preamp section of a quality valve amp.

Under the hood, the Production D1 employs a carefully thought out combination of circuit board-mounted and handwired top-shelf components. These are housed in a beautifully bombproof stainless steel enclosure to ensure a lifetime of frequent use.

The simple, yet versatile control set now uses fully sweep-able pots instead of rotary dials for the top and boost controls for even more finite tone sculpting. The D1 can be dialled in effortlessly for subtle signal sweetening valve compression, dynamic corpulent crunch tones and rich singing lead lines with the boost engaged. Like all Dickinson products, the D1 Overdrive is handmade in the UK – using the artisanal construction methods that vintage British-built audio equipment is famous for. The question now becomes… what live or recording scenario wouldn’t be better with a time-tested, all-valve signal sweetener?

Feel like a cloud on the skin. Very gentle and refreshing wipes.
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 3)
I was in need of some wipes to use (for various purposes), and came across this brand. I thought these would be a good choice for me, and decided to order them. I am very appreciative of how nicely these wipes were presented; the wipes were in great shape, and has no leaking or other issues. I ordered the pack of 3, which each has 80 wipes (so, a total of 240 wipes in all). I love how soft and durable these wipes are; these are perfect for changing diapers, or for a quick refresh in the bathroom. Additionally, these could be great for pet wipes as well (in my experience). I love the way the wipes come in these very full and sturdy packs; I love the detailing that went into the design of these wipes. The flip-top is easy to use, and I personally find the cloud shape lid to be adorable. These packs retain their moisture, and each wipes feels very moisturizing and soft. I like how the wipes are larger than the other brands of wipes I've tried in the past. Each wipe is large enough to get a lot done, and has one side that is more textured (great for removing stuck-on messes). These have been very gentle on my skin, as well as my family's. I'm very fond of these Bc Babycare Cloud Moist baby wipes, and would recommend to others. I think these are a nice value, as the packs contain 80 wipes each; wipes are much larger than other brands I've tried (meaning that I don't need to use as many). Great product, and would buy again.

A good find!
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 3)
This is a really thick pack of wipes. The wipes themselves are thick and textured. You can use one or two and be good to go. A little more pricey but you’re using less wipes for each change. Overall I like them. Good smell and no irritations. They clean well.

Love these
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 3)
I love these for my toddler, they are bigger than regular wipes and have a soft side and a scrubbing side made with raised dots that are still soft on the skin. They are wet enough to do a great job and I like that there is no alcohol. Great value for the price and really sturdy quality. Diaper rash has lessened since we switched to these. I've ordered several times. Easy to use.
