Congratulations on your choice, the TUBE TONER. The engine room
of this crafty combination of four different components is the
four-channel, all-tube preamp. It is responsible for the extraordinary tube
tone that is definitely up to professional stands. Next up is a MIDI
footswitch, which is connected to the channel switching circuit. It lets you
access a total of 10 MIDI program numbers located in Banks A and B,
which gets the job done for a wide range of applications. The TUBE
TONER is all about great tone, but we considered portability and
versatility essential attributes, so we added a filtered stereo line out to
put speaker simulated recording and direct-to-desk signals at your
disposal. And finally, we equipped the TUBE TONER with a miniature 2 x
1.5-watt stereo poweramp so you can get in hassle-free rehearsal time and
maybe write the odd tune or two at weird hours without alienating the
neighbors. This small-but-very-practical amp can drive stereo headphones,
hi-fi systems or conventional guitar cabinets. In addition to these four
main components, you have load of other handy features at your
disposal, including a stereo FX loop and variable stereo line outs. The two
main channels Clean and Lead are each equipped with dedicated gain and
volume controls for precision level adjustments.
The bypass circuit routes your guitar signal directly to the output, which
lets you set up a serial string of preamps or access combo preamps
separately. This feature gives you an incredibly varied range of tonal
options. If you´re thinking about using the TUBE TONER in a rig powered
by a stereo tube power amp, the 840 might be just what you need,
or if you want to go for a truly modern rig, the 930/60 (930/120) is
equipped with a bunch of sound shaping features you won´t find
anywhere else - some even claim that this power amp works with
something akin to sonic sorcery.
This Tube Toner 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).
The entire
-Team would like to thank you for your faith in our
product; we hope you derive a great deal of joy and satisfaction from
your TUBE TONER.
