Like its predecessor, the TubePre v2 is a fully professional tube preamplifier with a dual-servo (capacitorless) amplification unit that allows you to amplify the input signal to a very high output level without significantly increasing noise. Discrete components and high voltage mode offer unprecedented dynamic range and detail not found on any other preamp in this class.
TubePre v2 offers an even wider range of sonic possibilities and is more focused on the richness of the tube sound than the original TubePre. It has been enhanced with the popular XMAX Class A solid-state preamp, which follows the signal path of the 12AX7 tube section. This achieves even better sound coloration, also thanks to the hand-selected 12AX7 tube.
The TubePre v2 is more than just a microphone preamp, however. With separate microphone and instrument inputs, it can also be used as a dynamic DI box for guitar or bass. Thanks to its small size, it can be used almost anywhere or screwed into a rack.
