V550 PREAMP Tc Electronic

Two Ways to Boost

Among the additional features of V550, we included a Boost circuit that enhances the versatility when the rubber meets the road. And to maximize its flexibility and usefulness, we incorporated both PRE and POST modes. 

In the POST mode, the Boost circuit functions as a clean boost, elevating the output level without altering your core tone in any way. It simply engages a pure and transparent volume increase. 

If you switch to the PRE mode, the booster is now positioned before the amp modeler in the signal chain. This configuration drives the amplifier even harder, simulating the effect of having a vintage tube screamer sitting right in front of your amp, adding a touch of grit and character to your sound. 

With these two modes, the Boost circuit offers you the ability to tailor your tone precisely to your preferences, whether you desire a pristine volume boost or a tasteful vintage-style drive. 

Built-in 4x12 G12M Cab

The cab speaker plays a key role in any combo, and with the advancements in convolution-based IR technology, we can now capture the very essence of the past with remarkable precision and authenticity. 

To provide you with an authentic representation of the original sound, we collaborated with Celestion, the esteemed experts in speaker craftsmanship, renowned for their contributions to countless iconic guitar combos throughout music history. 

After extensive evaluation, we decided to integrate the official Celestion impulse response of the revered 4x12 G12M speaker cab. This divine sonic pairing faithfully reproduces every subtle nuance of your riffs and solos, delivering them with grace and elegance.

Live In The Presence

ntegrating a global PRESENCE knob on the rear panel, V550 effortlessly adapts to any musical scenario you may find yourself in. Recognizing that this pedal will likely be paired with a diverse range of amplifiers, cabinets, and pedals, we introduced this convenient and global control, enabling you to establish the overall sonic direction and leave it at that. 

Should you find that the default setting suits your sonic taste, no further adjustments are required. However, if you desire a subtle touch of brilliance or a hint of added warmth to align with your personal tone desires, simply tweak the PRESENCE knob to your liking. 

The global PRESENCE control empowers you to shape and refine your tone, achieving a seamless integration with your chosen equipment. It offers the flexibility needed to express your unique musical vision, allowing you to leave compromises behind and embrace a sound that resonates with your artistic identity. 

Exiting V550

V550 provides a versatile array of output options to suit your needs. When you use the HEADPHONES or DI outputs, the integrated cabinet impulse response (IR) seamlessly delivers an immersive and authentic tone directly to your ears or DAW. This feature is ideal for silent rehearsal, recording sessions, and live performances, where the DI output can be connected directly to a mixing desk for optimal sound reinforcement. 

Additionally, if you prefer to connect V550 to an amplifier or use it alongside a dedicated Cabinet IR Loader, the Line OUT option allows you to bypass the built-in cabinet simulation. This flexibility enables you to customize and fine-tune your sound according to your specific preferences and setup. 

It's worth noting that you can utilize all of the outputs simultaneously. For instance, a common scenario could be to feed your amp on stage using the Line OUT while simultaneously sending a cab-simulated feed via the DI to the front-of-house (FOH) or your PA system, ensuring consistent and high-quality sound distribution. 

Tapping Out

Right from the get-go of the V550 project, we had a clear objective in mind, and we’re immensely proud to declare that we’ve succeeded. 

The V550 captures the authentic sound and sensation of a modern high-gain classic, condensed into a user-friendly pedal format that immediately ignites your desire to tap and shred the guitar! 

We can’t wait to hear what you create.
