Tube swapping: Swapping tubes allows the fundamental character of the drive channel to be altered to replicate a wide range of vintage guitar amps and create new sounds too.Rotating the trim-pot clockwise increases the bias voltage, вЂhotвЂ™ biasing the tube stage and rotating anti-clockwise вЂcoldвЂ™ biases the tube. Adjustable Bias: Internal bias trim-pot allows bias adjustment of the first gain stage of the drive channel to alter the input sensitivity, biting point and вЂfeelвЂ™ of the Blackbird.The transformer is driven by audiophile discrete class AB transistor circuitry (the only solid-state components in the entire signal path) and imparts some additional sweetness to the guitar signal-in fact, speaker emulation often isnвЂ™t even necessary when recording direct, just a some eq and a little reverb can create incredible, full-bodied tones.

RACKMOUNT BASS GUITAR PREAMP PC

Triad transformer isolated balanced output (600в„¦ impedance) with +6dBu gain allowing direct connection to mixing desk, PC sound capture card or power amplifier.

RACKMOUNT BASS GUITAR PREAMP PROFESSIONAL

Transformer Balanced Out: For superb professional quality direct recording.

This output is a low impedance tube cathode follower stage with +10dBu of gain and is capable of driving long cable runs with lowest possible tone loss.

Tube Buffered Output: For connection to guitar amplifier.

Classic Tone Stacks: Each channel has itвЂ™s own dedicated вЂBassвЂ™, вЂMiddleвЂ™ and вЂTrebleвЂ™ controls based on the interactive tonestack found on vintage Fender В® вЂBlackfaceвЂ™ amps.

The overdrive channel is an improvement on the вЂњhot-roddedвЂќ tube circuitry found in вЂDumbleвЂ™ amps and packs a huge degree of flexibility ranging from warm and fat blues drive tones, through classic rock crunch, to harmonically-saturated sounds.

Two Truly Independent Channels: Add multiple channels to your vintage/boutique guitar amp! The clean channel is a replica of the classic вЂBlackfaceвЂ™ circuit Leo Fender created from the RCA Receiving Tube Manual and is beautifully warm and glassy sounding.

In the time it takes to change a light bulb a tube can be swapped out for a NOS (new old stock) vintage type such as Mullard, Sylvania, RCA, etc altering the gain, biting point, response and fundamental tone of the Blackbird.Д«assists! The Blackbird also works superbly with electric bass-its input stage has an excellent low-end response and can effortlessly handle the higher output from bass guitar. And itвЂ™s a tone houndвЂ™s dream-discovering bargain tubes, trying them out and seeing what effect they have on the guitarвЂ™s sound. The character of the overdrive response can be altered by adjusting tube bias points and swapping out tubes giving access to a virtually unlimited range of classic and undiscovered amp voicings. The BlackbirdВ preamp can be further вЂtweakedвЂ™ (a formal engineering term) to allow players sculpt their own truly unique signature sounds. Again, this channel has great depth, clarity and richness-a polished, classy sound that tubes excel at. A huge engineering effort has gone into developing and refining the thermionic circuitry in Blackbird and as a result of this the tone and feel of the pedal is superbly balanced-guitar tone really does not get any better than this. The clean channel has a beautiful, pure, glassy tone that lends itself to country and jazz playing, however because itвЂ™s a replica of the вЂBlackfaceвЂ™ tube circuit, it too can be pushed into breakup and overdrive with higher output pickups or aВ booster pedal. By simply digging in or easing off with the guitar pick the tube circuitry responds musically and works with you to create soaring expressive solos and its natural tube compression means you can effortlessly transition into rhythm or chord playing. This channel utilises exactly the same dynamic and touch sensitive all-tube clipping circuitry found only in an elite few hi-end guitar amps. The gain channel also features a second, entirely different voicing (вЂњCreamyвЂќ mode) which hot biases the tube circuitry, adding more odd harmonics to thicken up the soup for some devastating classic rock, crunch and harmonically-saturated guitar sounds.

The tone of the drive channel is best described as, вЂњbourbon & honeyвЂќ being voiced for a full-bodied, warm, bluesy overdrive and the clean channel has a beautiful, вЂglassyвЂ™ character.ДЄs the gain knob is rolled-up the overdrive fattens up beautifully to become a complex, rich distortion full of depth and even harmonic overtones. This versatile preamp is designed to give guitarists access to a wide palette of burnished, rich guitar sounds whether recording direct to computer in the studio or when used with a tube amp in a live situation. The Blackbirdв„ў вЂTube Tone EngineвЂ™ is a genuine all-tube preamp in a compact pedal.
