The Two Notes Audio Engineering Le Crunch preamp pedal combines the greatest tones of the classic British stack of amps that have defined rock ’n’ roll since the late '60s. Channel A’s clean, throaty voice is pure plexi heaven, while Channel B screams, "Move over; let there be rock!" The Hot Fusion mode crosses over into the high-gain territory, where shredders and down-tuned riffers write all the rules.From the moment Two Notes launched the Torpedo C.A.B., they believed it was possible to build a high quality pedalboard to entirely replace a conventional tube amplifier system: the complete floor rig. Even with an almost limitless choice of available guitar effects, finding a very good preamplifier in a pedal format was challenging. This is why Two notes is proud to premier its line of tube preamplifiers: Le Clean, Le Crunch, Le Lead and Le Bass.The selection of a preamplifier is the core of overall tone and thus requires the greatest attention. When building a complete floor rig, only the very best will make the cut. The Two notes preamplifiers are a True High Voltage Design running internally at 200 volts to preserve the interaction between and guitar while working perfectly with other effect pedals. Each of the four different versions deliver the unique tube warmth, dynamics, and the musical compression from the amps we know and love, now in a more convenient pedal package. And, of course, can use them as an elaborate tube overdrive, in front of favorite amplifier!Two channels plus fusion modeThe A and B channels are totally independent, each with their own voicing and eq section: Bass and Treble on A, Bass, Mid with Mid Sweep and Treble for B. On Channel A will find a lower gain tube stage with a pre-gain EQ using a more vintage design approach, while Channel B offers more gain and a very powerful post-EQ (with mid sweep). The exclusive Fusion modes open new horizons.Switching & multi-channel modeEach preamp features 2 channel footswitches, A and B. Simultaneously pressing A and B will ac- tivate the Fusion mode. Pressing A, B or A and B will also send a specific Midi Program Change command, that can be used to select a preset on Midi multi effects and/or Torpedo C.A.B.. In addition, the preamplifier may respond to a Program Change sent from another Midi device al- lowing a seamless integration into any pedalboard switching system. Combining several Two notes preamps on pedalboard makes things really interesting.Connected via Midi, each preamp will listen to the others. They can be configured in Multi-channel mode: pressing A on preamp 1 will by- pass preamp 2, like the channels of an amplifier. Alternately, when this mode is off: traditional on/off switching for all preamps, a preamp can be a boost/overdrive for the one that follows.High-quality electronic designTwo notes is first and foremost a team of music lovers who are all great admirers of musicians. The folks at Two Notes are highly qualified engineers, technicians, and musicians, whose purpose is to facilitate the life of guitar and bass players without infringing on their playing habits. Their mission consists in providing them with studio-grade products that are specifically designed for the guitar and bass.Integrated speaker simulationThis analog speaker simulation is specifically voiced for Le Preamp Model, and based on the Two Notes Torpedo simulator. This speaker simulation affects the DI output and the Headphones output.ConnectionsLe Preamp can be used in various configurations: as a traditional preamplifier, it can be connected to a power amplifier and cabinet, or in the Return input (or Power Amp In) of a guitar or bass amplifier. Placed before an amplifier, it acts as a boost, overdrive or distortion pedal. Alone or with the Torpedo C.A.B
