The Stockist is the Official Authorized Distributor of Chug Pedals in India, ensuring every instrument is 100% genuine, factory-original, and backed by trusted support.
Designed for modern metal players who demand crushing tone, tight response, and studio-grade control, the CHUG High Gain Preamp delivers the sound and feel of a full high-gain amplifier channel in a compact pedal format. Built to function as a true preamp, it can be run directly into a power amp, effects return, or recording interface for maximum tonal authenticity.
The signal path begins with precision-tuned high- and low-frequency filters, allowing you to sculpt the foundation of your tone before hitting the massive gain stage. With powerful Bass, Mid, and Treble EQ, plus dedicated Depth and Presence controls, the CHUG offers studio-level tone shaping that responds exactly like a modern high-gain amplifier.
A built-in intelligent noise gate—visually indicated via LED color change—keeps your signal razor tight even under extreme gain settings. Housed in a rugged, road-ready metal enclosure and designed for professional pedalboard integration, the CHUG is built for players who demand aggressive tone, clarity, and control.
