Compact, affordable and built tough enough for serious gigging, the PreSonus® TubePre V2 one-channel professional tube preamplifier is a great-sounding tool you’ll use on a variety of sources, including guitars, basses and microphones. The signal path features one of PreSonus’ famed XMAX Class A solid-state preamps, followed by a 12AX7 vacuum-tube stage that’s hand-selected and carefully tested for top audio performance. Twist the Drive saturation control to add just the right amount of tube distortion to guitars, basses or mic signals. Go lightly for gentle warmth or go all-out for solid crunch.
