Description
Attain the warm, crunchy tone that only a fully cranked tube amp can provide at your preferred volume level with the PS1 Power Soak from Bugera. Capable of handling up to 100W via it's 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm amp inputs, you can dial in your ideal tone, adjust the volume with the Soak knob, and enjoy your fully overdriven tone at any volume.Designed to sit between your tube amp head (or combo if it sports speaker outputs) and your cabinet, the PS1 can also be used for more than just attenuation. A dedicated line output with separate volume control can be used to send your signal to a separate FX loop, a sound board, an audio interface, and much more. An emulated mic output provides professional DI duties, an excellent choice for DI recording and reamping. And with four rubber feet, you can keep the PS1 securely in place on a surface when in use, whether in a studio or on a stage.Multi-Impedance Operation The PS1 Power Soak is designed to be inserted between your tube amp and your speaker cabinet. Just run a speaker cable from the output of your amp to the corresponding PS1 Amp Input jack that matches your amplifier s operating impedance (4, 8, or 16 ohms), and run a second speaker cable from PS1 s Speaker Output to your cabinet. Power up your amp and dial in your favorite sound, then adjust the large Soak knob to the ideal volume level.Dedicated Line Output On PS1's rear panel you'll find a convenient Line output jack for connecting to an external power amplifier for running additional speaker cabinets, or to effects processing gear in professional applications such as the recording studio. The signal from the Line output does not have speaker/ mic emulation, but does feature its own dedicated Level control.Built-In Direct Box Now that you have your stage volume under control, you can stick a mic in front of your speaker or better yet, use PS1's built-in emulated mic output to get all that great tone to the front of house (FOH) or recording console. This balanced XLR output mimics the sound captured by placing a microphone in front of your speaker without the need for any additional gear.
