Engineered to serve as a complete standalone direct-recording solution or an all-in-one preamp for traditional power amps, it bridges analog valve circuitry with digital cabinet emulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eConstructed around two high-voltage 12AX7 vacuum tubes running at proper plate voltages, the unit offers authentic tube dynamics rather than starved-plate processing. The physical layout incorporates dedicated 3-band EQs for each channel, independent boost controls, a buffered series effects loop, a balanced TRS direct output, a dedicated headphone output, and USB\/MIDI connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDual 12AX7 Preamp Tubes:\u003c\/b\u003e Operates vacuum tubes at high voltage to deliver genuine harmonic compression, touch sensitivity, and overdrive characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTwo Independent Channels:\u003c\/b\u003e Channel 1 spans pristine cleans to vintage British-voiced crunch, while Channel 2 delivers saturated high-gain tone with percussive low-end tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDedicated Voicing Switches:\u003c\/b\u003e Features an onboard 3-way Bright switch on Channel 1 and a 2-way Tight switch on Channel 2 to optimize high-end sizzle and low-frequency clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFoot-Switchable Boosts:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes dedicated boost circuits on both channels with independent volume controls and adjustable side-mounted gain trimmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLow-Latency IR Simulation:\u003c\/b\u003e Pre-loaded with official Friedman cabinet impulse responses and supports third-party WAV IR loading via USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eComprehensive I\/O Capabilities:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a balanced TRS output for direct connection to audio interfaces or front-of-house consoles, plus a 1\/8\" headphone output for silent monitoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMIDI \u0026amp; Software Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with 5-pin MIDI input for preset integration and USB connection to access the dedicated editor software for tweaking power-amp simulation parameters (Presence and Thump).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSecond Hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our second hand items have been thoroughly checked and are in full working order.
