Description
Resurrecting the legendary Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Revision G with advanced TC Ampworx modeling tech, the Dual Wreck Preamp from TC Electronic delivers the authentic tone, touch, and feel of a vintage tube amp. Sporting two channels (green for clean rhythm and red for leads), 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. A 5 dB boost is included with its own footswitch, and you can select either Pre or Post boost modes from the rear panel, with Pre boost allowing you 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 4x12 V30 cabinet, for the sound of a real vintage combo amp. And as a pedalboard-friendly platform, the Dual Wreck Preamp will take drive pedals like a champ.Inspired by a '90s Legend The Dual Wreck Preamp is inspired by the Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Revision G, a legendary guitar combo amplifier used by a wide range of artists throughout the '90s across the metal, grunge, and alt rock genres. By utilizing advanced Ampworx component-based modeling technology, TC Electronic captured the unmistakable sound and exhilarating exeprience of this famous amp.Bypass Mode Right out of the box, Dual Wreck is set to Dual Channel mode. 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.Tighten Up The original amplifier is renowned for its notable prominent low end, delivering a satisfyingly robust punch that perfectly complements certain playing styles and music genres. However, we understand that there may be instances where this characteristic might be excessive for your preferences.To address this, TC Electronic has incorporated a Tight control, allowing you to fine-tune the balance between fatness and tightness, to your taste. If you want to maintain the original flavor, simply leave the Tight knob at 0 for a completely unaltered representation of the original amp's distinctive sound.Built-In V30 Speakers 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 Vintage 30 4x12 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 Dual Wreck features an extra addition not present in the original Dual Rectifier, a 5 dB boost circuit. To enhance it's 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 any alteration to your core tone. It simply provides a transparent and pure increase in volume, allowing your original sound to shine through.Switching to the Pre mode repositions the booster before the amp modeler in the signal chain. This setup drives the amplifier with greater intensity, simulating the effect of a vintage Tube Screamer placed in front of your amp. This introduces a touch of grit and character, delivering a tasteful vintage-style drive.Presence Control By incorporating a global Presence knob on the rear panel, Dual Wreck is able to adapt to any musical scenario you may encounter.
