The 530 "modern Rock" an all-tube preamplifier delivers stunning
professional quality tube sounds in a modern, exceptionally compact 19"
rack-mountable package (1 rack space). The two main channels Clean and
Lead feature dedicated voicing sections, gain pots and volume controls for
precision sound shaping and fine-tuning. The Gain Lo/Hi switch converts
the Clean channel to a Crunch channel and, in the Lead channel, the
sound spectrum encompasses everything from Heavy Crunch to Ultra Gain.
With a 4-band voicing section featuring two midrange bandwidths and a
Contour switch that can be accessed via footswitch or the optional
MIDI Switcher Z-11, the Lead channel is amazingly versatile. Another
handy feature is the Defeat function, which bypasses the preamp and
routes the guitar signal directly to the output. This feature enables you to
connect two preamps in series and this option enlarges the tonal
spectrum. The variable Stereo Line Out and a frequency compensated Line
Out give you a wide range of application options, for instance you can
patch the preamp signal directly to a mixing console or recording device
and simultaneously drive an stereo power amp. For this purpose, the
all-tube stereo poweramp 840 or the ultra-modern 930/60 (120),
which is equipped with an impressive array of high-tech features that
deliver a wide range of devastating sounds, come highly recommended.
The integrated 2 x 1, 5 Watt stereo poweramp is suitable for three
different applications:
1, practicing with stereo headphones,
2. practising with hi-fi stereo speakers, and
3, practicing with a conventional guitar speaker cabinet.
This preamp is defined by the effort and materials that went into it:
intelligent design features, superior craftsmanship, impeccable finishing
and quality components. However keep in mind, that a few precautions
will radically extend tube life (see handling and care guidness).
