Tsunami Cables has stepped up and into the world of recording studio Preamps. This all-tube Class A pre, designed by legendary tube amp builder, Bruce Egnater, features two blend-able channels, inspired by the iconic B15 amp for pure tube goodness!
Channel 1 (top channel) is inspired by the early 60s design and utilizes a 6SL7 tube. Channel 2 (bottom channel) takes a nod from the early 70s with a 12AX7 tube. Each channel has independent treble and bass controls, as well as high boost and high cut switches. The front has an instrument level thru output as well as a stereo headphone practice amp. The back of the preamp features an XLR Balanced Output (-20dB pad and ground lift switches), and 1/4″ line level output. An additional feature is a true bypass mode option, where the thru output (front) is not effected by the preamp (the XLR / Line level outputs are always effected). Bypass can be achieved by either the rear bypass switch, or an optional momentary foot-switch.
The Tsunami V-15 Preamp measures 6″w x 4.5″h (w/handle) x 13″l with a weight of 6.5lb.
Preorders open on Monday, April 26 2021 with an initial run of 30 units. Please note: many have already been sold to current Tsunami artists, recording studios and reserved for promo/marketing.
As this first production run is taking place during a pandemic (with continued delays on all levels of manufacturing), the anticipated ship day is July, 2021.
