Description
First, the Class A preamp is equipped with powerful 12AX7 tubes that provide plenty of headroom and rich sound. Gain and tube drive controls allow for a wide range of sounds, from crystal clear to edgy overdrive. Optimize your signal with a -20 dB pad, 80 Hz high-pass filter, and polarity reverse. Our VCA-based compressor is known for their musicality, fast attack, and ability to control the fastest transients, allowing you to capture the hottest signals with precise dynamic control. It offers ratio, threshold, attack, release, and gain controls, as well as auto attack/release functionality with preset attack and release curves. The backlit VU meter displays gain reduction or output gain. The 3-band EQ is a precision tool that can be pre- or post-compressor, each stage can be bypassed. Custom-made amplifier delivers rich-sounding gain and cut for smooth highs, clear mids, and deep, solid lows. The midrange band is fully parametric, with variable Q, while the high and low frequency bands are semi-parametric, with frequency and gain controls, and can be shelving or peak bands.
