We are giving away two unique stompbox pedals, Rex and Roxi from Grace Design, worth a combined £1530$1480!
From their headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, Grace Design have been manufacturing some of the world’s finest microphone preamps since their founding in 1994. Their debut product, the model 801, set the standard for premium standalone preamps, and while they’ve since branched out into monitor controllers, D-A converters, DI boxes and microphone mounting systems, preamps remain at the core of their business.
The Prize
For this month’s exclusive SOS competition, we’ve teamed up with Grace to offer two readers the chance to win one of their unique stombox preamps. The Rex and Roxi (read our review from September 2024) pack the company’s superlative preamp circuitry into pedalboard-friendly units, with an effects send‑return loop allowing you to patch guitar pedals into your signal chain. Both pedals boast high-pass filter switches, EQ controls, boost and mute footswitching, and both amp and DI outputs, in addition to the effects loop I/O. The larger Roxi adds a mid band to the EQ section, a choice of two filter frequencies, a tuner output, a combi jack input to accommodate instrument signals, and the ability to repurpose the boost switch as an effects loop bypass.
So, whether you want to run your violin through a compressor pedal, sing through a Metal Zone, or you simply want the very best in microphone preamplification, the Rex and Roxi will have you covered.
