The Next Evolution of the Preamp 150
The Mile End Pique is a dynamic preamplifier, buffer, and harmonic enhancer rolled into one versatile pedal. Building on the design of the Preamp 150, Pique combines the glassy, harmonically rich boost of the original RE-150 Space Echo preamp with a high-headroom buffer and a unique dynamic EQ section. Whether used as a transparent always-on tone shaper or as an expressive boost to push your amp, Pique delivers detail, clarity, and dimension across your entire signal chain.
Handcrafted in Montreal with premium components, the Pique invites experimentation: subtle harmonic distortion, enhanced transients, restored clarity, and expanded depth make it an invaluable tool for guitarists and bassists looking to refine and elevate their core tone.
