3 tube preamp channels (clear, crunch, lead).
Connectivity quite simple:
- Input Jack
- 2 output amplifiers
- 2 outputs for direct console
Channel 1: Volume-Treble-Bass-Mid-Gain + switch "Punch" and a switch "Bright"
Channel 2: Volume-Treble-Bass-Mid-Gain switch + "Shift" switch and a "Bright"
The Channel 3: Mid-Treble-Bass (same as the 3 channel 2)-Volume Gain-switch + 1 "Bright"
We regret that it is not MIDI but comes with the pedals. If you have a MIDI switcher or a G-major, your problem is resolved.
UTILIZATION
Simpler than that ... are not. You turn the knobs and found sound very easily. Not need the manual
SOUNDS
V We start with the weak point of this preamp ... simulator output with HP. I play a lot in the Home Studio, and these outputs are at best to troubleshoot. Better to have an ADA Microcab (I own) or a micrometer. Here, for against, it's heaven.
Channel 1: Very slamming but simultaneously quite versatile. The EQ is very effective. this channel has a tendency to drown in the mix with the other instrument, but once you get the right setting is that of happiness, either for arpeggios or funky scocottes
Channel 2: My favorite. The ideal is to lower the gainau third. Start it on a sound rock'n'roll / blues amazing (listen to the solo of "Lie to Me" by Bon Jovi, with his strat's what). Do not really push too much gain on this channel (in any case, the lead channel is there for that). I use a "Tube Factor" H & K to boost that channel when I need ... that is where I play most
Channel 3: Quite close to the channel 2 with more gain. It is extremely typed rock'n'roll / hard rock ... if you like the sound of a JCM 800 led to the Whitesnake / Van Halen / Aerosmith / George Lynch, you need this preamp ... Again, I with my boost on the Tube Factor solos and it takes off ....
OVERALL OPINION
I préamli the past 6 months ... I'm not ready to let go of. I had a lot (Rockron Voodoo Valve, Marshall JMP1, Tubeman + H & K, Mesa V Twin, ENGL 620 and 530, Peavey Tubefex ...) of preamps. In pre-amp, only the ACE I spilled more than one (but not the member price and I have not tried the big Soldano). I am ready to keep it very long, but only because its sounds are exactly the style of music I play.
