This is the AMPSAMPS The PRE-Q V2!

The PRE-Q V2 features the same resonant inductor-based Ampeg-inspired midrange circuit that boosts or cuts 300/1k/3khz, powered by a couple of 12AX7s but in a smaller, more pedalboard friendly enclosure.

The PRE-Q V2 runs on 12vdc and features an active Baxandall EQ with Treble, Middle & Bass controls. It also has a built in Vintage Console Boost (2nd footswitch)! All handwired and high voltage. A total rocker. A Zvex Super Hardon blowing up an Ampeg VT-40 was one of the key guitar tones on QOTSA’s Songs for the Deaf. The PRE-Q continues to be a unique and endlessly useful tool for any musician looking to carve out their frequency in the sonic spectrum.

Tube lineup: 12AX7 x2

Controls: Top Row: Treble, Bass. Bottom Row: Boost, Middle, Volume

The PRE-Q V2 runs on a 12v DC adapter (included with domestic purchases) that steps up to 250v inside the pedal! Other features include a custom designed Cinemag Inductor, Alpha pots, Switchcraft jacks and Gorva Switches.

Dimensions: 7 x 7 x 3 (including knobs and tubes). Power is 12v DC, 2 amp, center positive power via 2.1 x 5.5mm (standard) barrel connector.

“Just had my first band practice using it a couple of days ago.  It totally sounded like I was still running my VT-22! I think the low end may even be a bit tighter than the VT-22.  I’m very happy with it.” -BH

“I absolutely love them! Some of the best pedals I’ve ever owned. “-BL, on his PRE-Q & Vintage Console Boost

“The [PRE-Q V1 & 2] have been so much fun, and they’ve been part of my regular setup since you sent them. I actually use a Kemper a lot, and I have it in front of that to make everything a bit more analog ;)” -ES
