TPS II

2-Channel Tube Preamp with V3 Presets

Find A Dealer

The TPS II brings the versatility of the Tube MP Studio V3 to a two-channel rackmount mic preamp and instrument DI.

V3 stands for Variable Valve Voicing, and refers to the sixteen onboard presets organized 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.

Every preset has a suggested application, but they all have a unique character, so any of them might be an inspiring match for your performance. Theres also a Flat preset for the classic sound of the original Tube MP.

Both channels feature independent V3 settings, input and output gain controls, and switchable boost, phantom power, and phase reversal.

The TPS II also adds variable impedance for each microphone input, so you can tailor the response of the preamp to your mics for even more tonal flexibility.

The front panel features input and output meters and a mic / instrument combo jack for each channel, and the rear panel features XLR and 1/4 connections for mic and line connections.

Fast and flexible, the TPS II is designed for maximum tone with minimum tweaking.
