The Ultimate '80s Rock Machine!
Ready to crank up the volume and relive the glory days of '80s rock? The Formula B Eighty Master V2 delivers the era's legendary guitar tones, complete with massive distortion, punchy mids, and enough gain to shake the walls.
Inspired by classic Marshall amps, this dual-channel preamp pedal captures everything from bluesy Plexi-style breakup to high-gain JCM800 crunch—and yes, it nails that iconic "Brown Sound."
The Eighty Master V2 is an evolution of Formula B’s acclaimed original, now housed in a compact enclosure with twin footswitches for quick channel switching.
Gain 1 provides vintage-inspired overdrive, while Gain 2 offers more aggressive, saturated tones—perfect for moving from classic rock riffs to searing leads. Its responsive design reacts beautifully to your picking dynamics and guitar volume knob, offering a range of tones at your fingertips.
Dial in your sound with a full three-band EQ (Bass, Mids, Treble) and the Modeling (Presence) control to fine-tune high-end clarity.
The pedal’s amp-like feel is enhanced by a saturation stage that simulates the warmth of tube amps.
Crank it up and let the Eighty Master V2 transport you straight to the heyday of big riffs, soaring solos, and arena-shaking rock 'n' roll!
