Product Information

Then when you want to search for a particular grain, color or simply refine their trimming, they move on. Note: The folks at Sweetwater are Legends with their customer service. One phone call and they took care of everything. Sweet :-) Product: It takes some trial and error and understanding of the role of a tube preamp versus your preamp in the audio interface and how to set the pads and levels to get the best signal to noise ratios and maximize the tube warmth. I love the sound and use it with condensers and dynamic mics. I also feed a passive Ultra DI400P direct box to it. V3™ presets were created and fine-tuned by some of the industry’s top studio and live-sound engineers and allow instant access to a multitude of preamp settings designed for guitars (electric and acoustic), keyboards, bass guitars, drums, vocals and more. Additionally, the Tube MP Studio V3 employs OPL™ (Output Protection Limiting) technology to protect the next component in your signal path from clipping and overloads.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. With the Tube MP, what you see is what you get. And in this case, it's not so much. Connectivity is quite ample, gain staging is sufficient for nearly any input source, phantom power and phase reversal are nice, and the limiting is a nice option but not all that great. you can use both outputs at once, but only one input, if I had forked out the money to buy the next model it would have two channels, so i have no reall grounds to complain.

The most basic model Tube MP is a great value because it is so inexpensive, well made, and good sounding if used right. its own, the lamp does not hear and almost better because in this range made ... (Unless it is fun to saturate). So no coloration of sound in normal use.

Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered. The preamp itself comes with presets for certain instruments or vocal types, although after experimenting with these, I don't always go with their suggestions depending on the tone I'm after. Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. tough metal casing, the knobs are perfect, smooth turning but with enough resistance to be very precise.One thing to consider, Many complain that the included tube is just not all that great. The factory tube (12ax7a) is often replaced by the end user. A groove tube or a j-tubes replacement are common choices. Also, the unit can opperate with other 12a... tubes, a 12at7 for example. So, you may consider just swapping it out for a few other types and choosing the one that sounds the most pleasing to you.

The sound is catastrophic, a grain of espce unpleasant o you feel that the sound is off, there are holes in the lower, like in low-mdiums, also a little in the treble. In short it is ugly. The gain is really low, there is a rhausseur ok but ds you push a little knobs, a breath ... I have not changed the lamp, because for a device like that the whole investment is useless I think You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The only thing I don%27t like about the unit is the information provided with it. It took me quite a while to learn how to get the most out of it. I documented my experiences and what I learned in the form of videos which you can find on YouTube if you search under the name 'ToneTaster'.
