GRAY MAN



GRAY MAN
HIGH-VOLTAGE, DUAL-OUTPUT TUBE PREAMP WITH GROUND LIFT AND PHASE REVERSE SWITCHES. THE SOLUTION FOR YOUR TWO-AMP RIG.
Two Amps Are Better Than One….
“What a great piece of gear man… I’m using it at the end of my chain to have that master control over everything just before hitting my amps. Works great and both amps sound much more balanced too!” -MB
If there’s one thing that continues to come up, it’s that using multiple pieces of gear together to get where you’re going always lends a better result. For fans of wet/dry rigs, or those that just enjoy sitting between two amps & controlling the volume and tone from one place...Grey Man is your solution.
Inspired by Ry Cooder's “Green Man”, the Grey Man is built for the feel, harmonic complexity, and dynamic response that only a real tube front end delivers. With a 12AX7 running as an actual high-voltage tube gain stage, and the result is a rich, touch-sensitive overdrive that moves effortlessly from edge-of-breakup grit to thick, singing sustain while preserving the character of your guitar and amp. The simple Volume and Tone controls make dialing in sounds quick, while the circuit naturally cleans up from your guitar's volume knob and responds to picking dynamics the way a great vintage amp should.
The Grey Man also doubles as a premium signal splitter. Two isolated outputs let you feed two amps simultaneously without the hum, ground loops, or phase headaches that plague typical Y or jumper cables. One output is direct, while the second passes through a high-quality isolation transformer and includes Ground Lift and Phase Reverse switches for quiet, trouble-free dual-amp rigs.
Whether you're chasing vintage slide tones, building a wet/dry setup, or simply looking for an always-on tube front end, the Grey Man is designed to become an indispensable part of your rig.
