TC Electronic

Faithfully reproducing the iconic British tube tones of the classic 1965 VOX Top Boost AC30 with advanced TC Ampworx modeling tech, the DC30 Preamp from TC Electronic delivers the authentic tone, touch, and feel of a vintage tube amp. Sporting two channels (green for clean rhythm, red for more gain), you can handle everything from blues and jazz to rock and metal.Each channel features independent gain, volume, and EQ controls for perfect tonal shaping. An integrated boost is included with it's own footswitch, and you can select either Pre or Post boost modes from the rear panel, with Pre boost allowing you to drive the amp model harder, with a distinct mid-frequency hump. Both the DI output (ideal for PAs, mixers, and interfaces) and the headphone output (ideal for silent practice) offer IR-based simulations of a Celestion 2x12 Alnico Blue cabinet, for the sound of a real vintage combo amp. And as a pedalboard-friendly platform, the DC30 Preamp will take drive pedals like a champ.Great, Great Britain Faithfully reproducing the iconic British tube tones of the classic 1965 VOX Top Boost AC30 with advanced TC Ampworx modeling tech, the DC30 Preamp from TC Electronic delivers the authentic tone, touch, and feel of a vintage tube amp.

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, The Who, and many more brought this amp to the stage and studio to shape the sound of their music.The AC30 has a distinctive British tube amp sound, with crunching leads and rhythm guitar and warm cleans. The DC30 delivers that same sonic character, now with modern enhancements for even further versatility.Bypass Mode Right out of the box, the DC30 is set to Dual Channel mode. Both channels are modeled after the AC30 clean channel, though the Red channel offers more gain and a slightly different voicing. This configuration keeps the pedal engaged at all times, granting instant access to each of these unique sonic profiles.However, if you prefer a more traditional stompbox experience, TC Electronic also incorporated a Bypass mode. Entering this mode allows you to simply stomp the pedal on and off, allowing you to switch between bypass and the channel used before entering Bypass mode.Built-In 2x12 Alnico Blue Cabinet The cabinet speaker plays a crucial role in any combo, and thanks to the advancements in convolution-based IR technology, TC Electronic can now capture the essence of the past with exceptional precision and authenticity. To give you the true sound of the original, they joined forces with Celestion and incorporated the official Celestion impulse response of the popular Alnico Blue 2x12 speaker cab. It's an excellent match that reproduces every nuance of your riffs and solos with equal amounts of ease and elegance.Pre- or Post-Boost DC30 features a boost circuit just like the original. To enhance its versatility, the pedal offers a selectable Pre or Post boost mode. In the Post mode, the boost circuit functions as a volume boost, elevating the output level without introducing an
