Surfy Industries SurfyMan Preamp Effect Pedal

It’s Surfy, man!

Throwing back to the great American amplifiers of the ’50s and ’60s, the Surfy Industries SurfyMan is a preamp pedal unlike any other. Utilizing Surfy’s know-how on analog amplification and effects, the SurfyMan hearkens to classic Showman amplifiers and other “brown”-style units like it. The SurfyMan features a host of gizmos to get you on your way in classic Surfy fashion.

The SurfyMan takes inspiration from Surfy’s very own Blossom Point preamp pedal. The Blossom Point, a way Surfy allowed players to get into authentic, vintage tube amp tonality without manufactured distortion, lays the theoretical foundation for the SurfyMan. As a unit, the SurfyMan plays with both the authenticity of the Blossom Point preamp and the magic of other Surfy analog effects.

This Surfy entry is truly a unique piece. Summoning all the brightness, tone, tube-y thickness of classic “brown” Showman amplifiers, the SurfyMan features the same true tone-stack circuitry as original Showmen. A whole host of EQ controls allows for the SurfyMan to be anything you need it to be a bright and clean amp, a heated signal pusher, and anything in between. Just mix through the SurfyMan’s two-band EQ, Presence and segmented Volume and Master output controls to get onto new tonal discoveries.

Onboard, the SurfyMan loads in its own dedicated SurfyTrem effect with Surfy’s classic brown/black option select. Between these two options, you get plenty of routes to take through classic tremolo sounds. Connectivity on the SurfyMan allows for a wide range of uses. The SurfyMan can be run like a traditional effect pedal by routing it into your board like normal, or can be sent out to a mixing console or PA through its TRS line out connection. A dedicated headphone out also enables the SurfyMan to be used like its own headphone amplifier for silent practice. Operating at nine to eighteen volts DC at any polarity, the SurfyMan is ready to join you on your Surfy journey.

However you like your summers hot, cool, dry, wet you’ve got a new tool to make sure that above all else, it’s Surfy.
