Sunn Beta Lead/Bass Preamp Distortion
(Temporarily Sold Out)
The Berserker Prehistoric Dog faithfully replicates the preamp circuits found in the coveted (and long discontinued) Sunn Beta Lead and Beta Bass solid state amplifiers. Both circuits are not only notorious for their prominence in heavy/stoner rock, but the active 3-Band EQ section provides a surprising amount of versatility when dialing in some classic British and American amplifier tones. Connect directly to the input of a clean amp to use as a distortion pedal, or place it in the effects loop for use as a true preamplifier. Requires 9V power, 100mA current draw. Made in Austin, Texas using True Bypass construction and top quality components.
Free Shipping in US/CA. International Shipping calculated at checkout.

REVERB USER REVIEWS
3/8/23 - Quick shipping and the pedal sounds amazing! 10/10. The gain just cascades so beautifully and the bass setting was a huge surprise.
2/27/23 - So far I've only played this through the front of my Scarlett/Neural DSP and a little orange CR20, but in both cases I loved the tone. It sounds good at all 12 o'clock and also sounds good with more or less gain. The volume knob hasn't done much but that might be more of a headroom thing going into a real tube amp. Eventually I'll see how my PRRI and 6505mh take it but I'm already really satisfied with it. As for the buying experience: quick shipping, nicely packaged and comes with a dust bag.
2/8/23 - Awesome Preamp Pedal! Transaction was fast & smooth. Welcome to Texas!
2/1/23 - Cool pedal - everything as expected, thanks!!!
12/29/22 - Honestly I feel like I could record a whole album running this directly into my interface. I want this EQ circuit on every piece of gear I own.
12/14/22 - Blew my expectations completely out of the water. Pretty much the perfect all purpose distortion/preamp, apart from being a near perfect recreation of the historically important Beta preamp circuit. Absolutely stellar pedal.
10/30/22 - Fast shipping, awesome pedal. Great seller.
7/7/22 - Opened the well-packed box, plugged into the fx send / return loop and there it is: that Sunn Beta amp sound in lead and bass flavours. Fantastic work, James! Quality, sound and feel you'd usually only find in much more expensive pedals. Recommended 10/10.
5/19/22 - This arrived so fast, I didn’t even get to check the tracking info before it got here! Great pedal, very versatile. Great sellers. Can’t go wrong with Berserker Electronics!!
5/19/22 - 5 stars for tone, 5 stars for build quality, and 5 stars for being such a good seller. That super fast shipping was much appreciated.
5/14/22 - Killer pedal, fast shipping, A+ everything
4/5/22 - Great sound on a fantastic product. Everything I've wanted in a dirt pedal!
2/15/22 - Great packaging, fast shipping, highly recommended
2/13/22 - Instant doom guy McFly. A one trick pony. But gosh darn does it do that one trick so good.
2/10/22 - 6 stars, not 5. Played a beta lead for many years until it blew up. Twice. Have other setups that are cool and all, but not the same. This is the real deal. The crunch, the cleanup, the big fatty fat low end, all of it. So glad you guys make this, as betas are stupid expensive and somewhat combustible. Very happy.
12/31/21 - Fast shipping, great pedal!

3/31/21 - Stoner rock essential.
3/15/21 - Quick sending, good package, great product !
2/26/21 - Super fast shipping. This pedal absolutely KILLS on bass!!! I own over twenty different distortion and fuzz pedals (including many top rated high end pedals) and as far as I'm concerned this is either the leader of the pack or maybe tied for first place for bass dirt. Build quality is superb as well. Can't say enough good things about Berserker Electronics or this pedal. I'm not wowed by pedals all that often but I couldn't put my bass down once I turned the Prehistoric Dog on. Love it!
2/14/21 - The unit is great. Well made and nicely versatile. Very pleased.
1/5/21 - Berserker make incredible pedals, this arrived in good time internationally and was well packaged. Needless to say, the Prehistoric Dog is incredible.
12/28/20 - Shipped super fast even with pandemic delays. Exactly what I was looking for and way outperforms my expectations
12/8/20 - Hi James, got the Prehistoric Dog pedal yesterday and after just a short trial I have to say it is AWESOME! Connected it between my bass and amp and the beat-up Hartke became a growling monster immediately. I think further connection trials with blending pure bass to the signal it will become even nicer. Thanks for a killer product!
12/8/20 - Good communication, absolutely killer product (Prehistoric Dog pedal). Highly recommended!
12/3/20 - I just wanted to let you know the prehistoric dog , it’s awesome and I use it all the time.
11/5/20 - An incredible pedal. Absolutely worth every penny.
11/3/20 - Great service, and the pedal rips, super versatile.
9/8/20 - This pedal is incredible! Exactly the sound I was looking for and the look and feel is great. Definitely gonna be looking forward to new Berserker pedals in the future!
9/3/20 - I can’t say enough things about this transaction. James has been awesome with correspondence and very fast shipping. The fit and finish is outstanding, you can tell he takes great pride in his work. The Prehistoric Dog can doom, metal or get weird. Buy one and have fun.
9/2/20 - Fantastic seller. i had a question about power requirements and James from Berserker quickly set me straight. My order was exceptionally well-packaged and arrived in excellent condition. The pedal itself is, as its name implies, feral. From dull thunder to full-throated roar, the Prehistoric Dog is a wild beast on bass guitar and a simple 1x15 amp. Put your favorite Rat/Rat Clone in front of it and you'll be ripped to shreds.
8/13/20 - Fast and painless transaction. I highly recommend Berserker Electronics as an exceptional Reverb seller and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Prehistoric Dog Sunn Beta Preamp pedal!!! What an awesome pedal!!!! It sounds KILLER !!!!
