ART TUBEMPSTV3U Tube Preamp with V3 Presets
"I liked the confident sound of this little preamp, and the presets really do offer a useful choice of characters without getting silly. It's almost like having several different mics to choose from." - Sound on Sound
The Studio V3 offers all of the features of the original Tube MP with versatile onboard presets to easily dial in a great tone.
V3 stands for Variable Valve Voicing, and refers to the sixteen presets in three overlapping groups: Neutral, Warm, and OPL. Each has a precisely voiced EQ curve, Warm presets add tube saturation, and OPL presets engage Output Protection Limiting for dynamic control of loud signals and big transients.
Each preset has a suggested application, but they all have a unique character, so any could be an inspiring match for your performance. Theres also a Flat preset for the classic sound of the original Tube MP.
Like the original, the Tube MP Studio V3 has XLR and 1/4 connections with variable gain and switchable boost, phantom power, and phase reversal.
Fast and flexible, the Tube MP Studio V3 is a mic preamp and instrument DI designed for maximum tone with minimum tweaking.
