Albuquerque

The BSM Albuquerque is a unique boost/preamp pedal that captures the iconic tones of 1970s rock legends Bad Company. Designed as a tribute to guitarist Mick Ralphs' legendary live sound, this pedal is a one-trick pony - but what a glorious trick it is. At its heart, the Albuquerque is all about rich, harmonically-complex overdrive. It's voiced to pair perfectly with humbucking pickups, unleashing a thick, creamy distortion that's perfect for classic rock riffs and soaring leads. But the real magic happens when you dial in the "slope" control - this allows you to fine-tune the low-end response, taming boominess or adding extra punch depending on your amp. What makes the Albuquerque so special is its uncanny ability to replicate Ralphs' legendary tone. Through clever circuit design, BSM has bottled the essence of his fat, saturated Les Paul sound - that perfect blend of raw power and refined harmonic complexity. Plug in, crank the gain, and you'll swear you've been transported back to the Albuquerque Civic Center in 1976, with Ralphs and Paul Rodgers leading Bad Company through their timeless catalog. Whether you play a vintage Les Paul, a modern superstrat, or anything in between, the Albuquerque will inject your tone with the spirit of classic rock's golden era. It's a pedal that demands to be heard, delivering a sound that's both instantly recognizable and utterly unique.
