AWAKE

This tube booster is a truly unique stomp box that literally wakes up and brings out the true tone of your instrument. The original circuit designed around the micro tube inside the Awake, can turn a low output or a dull signal into an exciting and warm sound wave that can drive an amp up to eleven, and beyond.

This real clean boost can lift both guitar and bass guitar signal up to 15db - so it can also be placed at the end of the pedalboard to bring back any loss signal and work as an instrument master volume. The single Volume knob on the unit works as a cut/boost control - increasing the volume after 12 o'clock. Enclosed in a stainless-steel chassis is equipped with a true bypass on/off switch, to preserve the original signal even when turned off . - if you ever want to turn it off again - this sturdy piece of gear is hand-crafted, assembled and tested in Rome, Italy by Secret-EFX. Note: please allow the circuit built-in tube to warm up for at least I minute for best sonic performance. Warning: please use only 9V DC power supply (tip=negative)

Awake – Real Tube Clean Boost Pedal for Guitar and Bass

Tube clean boost pedal with extra harmonics and warmth

High-headroom boost to restore clarity and presence in any signal chain

Boutique tube preamp-style boost for guitar and bass

Handcrafted in Italy clean boost pedal for pedalboards

Awake is a real tube clean boost for guitar and bass designed to enhance harmonics, warmth, and overall presence. Thanks to extended headroom, it works with virtually any instrument and can be placed either at the beginning of the chain to drive other pedals, or at the end to restore clarity to dull or weakened signals.

AWAKE Tube Preamp – The Origin of Tone - English
Before tone was shaped, refined, or simulated… it was simply amplified. AWAKE was born from a radical idea: remove everything that stands between the instrument and its true voice. In a world dominated by complex hybrid circuits, AWAKE takes a different path — the signal flows through a single active element: the tube. No transistors. No op-amps. Nothing in between. At its core lies a New Old Stock subminiature tube — a genuine piece of electronic history. Originally developed for military purposes, these tubes were engineered to operate under extreme conditions and were used in early missile guidance systems, where precision and reliability were mission-critical. Today, that same technology is brought back to life for one purpose only: tone. The response is immediate, three-dimensional, and organic. It doesn’t impose a character — it reveals it. Every nuance, every dynamic, every detail emerges with a natural depth that modern circuitry simply cannot replicate. AWAKE is not an emulation.
It’s not an effect. It’s a direct path between your instrument and your sound.
A return to what tone was always meant to be.
WAKE Tube Preamp – Origine del Suono - italian
Prima che il suono venisse modellato, corretto, simulato… veniva semplicemente amplificato. AWAKE nasce da questa idea essenziale: eliminare ogni artificio e lasciare che il segnale viva nella sua forma più pura. In un’epoca dominata da circuiti ibridi e processi complessi, AWAKE compie una scelta controcorrente: il segnale attraversa un solo elemento attivo — la valvola. Nessun transistor, nessun amplificatore operazionale. Solo materia, energia e suono. Al cuore del circuito pulsa una valvola subminiaturizzata New Old Stock, un frammento autentico di storia tecnologica. Progettata per scopi militari e destinata a operare in condizioni estreme, questa valvola era impiegata nei primi sistemi di guida missilistica, dove precisione e affidabilità non erano un’opzione, ma una necessità assoluta. Oggi, quella stessa tecnologia rivive in un contesto completamente diverso: la musica. La sua risposta è immediata, tridimensionale, organica. Non colora artificialmente il suono: lo rivela. Ogni sfumatura, ogni dinamica, ogni dettaglio prende forma con una naturalezza che nessun circuito moderno può replicare. AWAKE non è un’emulazione.
Non è un effetto. È un percorso diretto tra lo strumento e l’ascoltatore.
Un ritorno all’essenza.
AWAKE チューブプリアンプ – 音の原点
音が形作られ、補正され、シミュレートされる前に…
それはただ、純粋に増幅されていました。 AWAKEは、このシンプルで大胆な考えから生まれました。
楽器とその本来の声の間にある余計なものをすべて取り除く。
複雑なハイブリッド回路が支配する現代において、AWAKEは異なる道を選びます — 信号は 一つのアクティブ要素、真空管だけ を通過します。
トランジスタも、オペアンプも、何も介在しません。 その核心には、ニューヴィンテージのサブミニチュア真空管(New Old Stock)が息づいています。
元々は米軍向けに開発され、極限環境下での動作を前提に設計されました。
初期のミサイル誘導システムでも使用され、精密性と信頼性が絶対条件でした。 そして今、この同じ技術が音楽のために復活します。 応答は瞬時で立体的、有機的。
人工的なキャラクターを加えるのではなく、音そのものを明らかにします。
微細なニュアンス、ダイナミクス、細部まで、現代の回路では再現できない自然な奥行きで浮かび上がります。 AWAKEはエミュレーションではありません。
エフェクトでもありません。 それは、楽器とサウンドの間の直接の道です。
音が本来あるべき姿への回帰。
