    I use this tube preamp to beef up my solid state amps. It really does a great job. It just brings a dull amp to life. Cheers.

  • Great distortion, very tube feel.

    Overall I am very happy with this pedal. I have a very compact and portable rig overall using the orange terror stamp, a boss sd-1 overdrive, and a mini noise gate all into my Harley benton 2x12. As much as I love the orange, sometimes I just need something different and something more. And that's where this dual distortion comes in. I play mostly rock and metal, and the dual distortion gives me loads of versatility especially paired with my orange. Pairing both of these hybrid valve products together create a very responsive and full tone that I have only ever heard from a full tube amp. The cab rig system is fantastic for d.i. and is fully customizable if you have the proper USB type b(printer style cable) which this pedal does not come with. When I record I find that running a sort of stereo configuration where I use the d.i. of the orange and the xlr cab rig d.i. of the dual distortion pair really well together and give me a very full and chunky tone. It also in a sense allows me to double track without actually double tracking. All in all for my use as an experimental home studio artist as well as the occasional fill in for a band or just going and jamming with someone, this pedal fit my needs perfectly and fits in with my compact rig like a glove.
