Orange Acoustic Pre Twin Channel Stereo Valve Acoustic Preamp

The Orange Acoustic Pre stereo valve acoustic preamp is regarded as the world's first stereo valve acoustic preamp/active DI.

Twin Channels For A Versatile Tone
Players have the choice of two channels, each with a three-band EQ and a semi-parametric mid control. Channel A is a valve channel, and accommodates both active and passive instruments. Its high-quality valve-circuitry amplifies a wider frequency range than most electric guitar amps, and captures every nuance of the playing style, for a precise response. With this channel, the tonal effect of the valve can be fine-tuned with the preamp's 'Heat' control knob, adjusting the overall negative feedback applied to the valve. This control also provides a warm attack, which is ideal for flatpickers.

Channel B is a solid state channel, delivering a softer character with pristine clarity. This channel accommodates a microphone or an instrument, and also features a switchable 48V phantom power. Players can benefit from bending both channels together, or using independently for a full variety of unique tones.
