Orange Valve Pre Two-channel Acoustic Preamp Pedal

2-channel Acoustic Instrument Tube Preamp/DI
In a market that trends toward the clean and clinical, it's nice to see a product breaking new (old) ground like the Orange Acoustic Pre: a tube-fueled stereo acoustic guitar preamp and active DI from the minds of Orange Amplification. If such a name calls to mind roaring amp stacks and sweaty rock 'n' roll, you're not alone. But the Acoustic Pre closer resembles a quality studio mic preamp than electric guitar tech. The Acoustic Pre's twin channels offer nuance and versatility for the discriminating stage and studio acoustic player. Channel A (instrument only) imparts varying degrees of 12AX7 tube warmth and top-end sparkle, with a wide frequency range and Heat control for tube subtlety. Channel B (instrument or microphone) imparts a softer, cleaner sound and can be used as an alternate guitar voicing or fed with a dynamic mic to blend miked and DI signals.
Each channel has its own analog 3-band EQ section with semi-parametric mids for tone sculpting and feedback control. Ambience is available via the lush onboard stereo reverb or by using your own pedals into the FX loop. Quality DIs for each channel give your soundperson and recording engineer full control of your miked and DI signals, to capture every ounce of emotion from your performance. If you've been looking for an acoustic instrument preamp that bucks the trend, we at Sweetwater highly recommend the Orange Amplification Acoustic Pre.
