TC Electronic Ampworx V550 Preamp Pedal Gray

The TC Electronic Ampworx V550 preamp pedal brings the sound of a legendary high-gain tube amp in a compact, pedalboard-friendly stompbox. With the TC AMPWORX modeling technology, the V550 accurately captures the entire tone profile of the iconic 5150 Mk1 amplifier. The foundation is a detailed recreation of the original amp's gain structure, EQ and power amp sag - the elements that create its famously aggressive crunch. The V550 gives independent controls for the clean and lead channels, allowing to shape tone for chords, leads or anything in between. And with the integrated cab simulator, can plug straight into a PA system and get authentic tube amp tone, without needing a physical guitar cabinet. Dial In Tone With Independent Channel and Boost Controls The V550's dual-channel design provides independent gain, volume, bass, mid and treble controls for the clean and lead channels. This lets set rhythm sound and lead boost as different presets for quick switching. The lead channel also includes a pre-gain boost control that kicks tone into overdrive. And the global presence knob fine-tunes the high-end bite. Whether need glassy cleans, mid-heavy crunch or saturated leads, the V550 puts the tone-shaping tools at fingertips. Get Genuine Amp Tone With Integrated Cab Simulator Thanks to the built-in Impulse Response-based cab simulator, the V550 delivers true-to-life tube amp tone direct to a PA system, audio interface or headphones. No need for extra amp-and-cab sim pedals. The cab sim features a modeled 4x12 cab loaded with Celestion G12M Heritage speakers, capturing the fullness and punch 'd get from a real guitar cab. Use the cab blend knob to dial in just the right amount of speaker modeling for setup. The V550 also provides balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs for connecting to any live or recording rig. Stompbox and Dual-Channel Modes For Maximum Flexibility The V550 offers two different operation modes to suit needs. Stompbox mode gives it classic pedal functionality - switch the whole pedal on/off for boosting solos or kicking in distortion. Dual Channel mode keeps the pedal always active, letting switch between clean and lead channels at will. Choose the mode that fits playing style and gig needs. But whichever pick, the V550 serves up iconic high-gain tone and responsiveness in a compact, gig-ready pedal. Intuitive Controls Let Perfect Sound With its streamlined interface focused on tone shaping, the V550 makes it easy to create ideal sound. The logical control lat provides quick access to every parameter, without overwhelming with options. Tweak channel volumes, EQs and gain structures to craft everything from sparkling cleans to saturated leads. Add in the global presence control, integrated cab sim and boost switch for even more tonal possibilities. The V550 simplifies high-gain tone, letting concentrate on playing, not pedalboard.
