X3M All Tube Preamp

This is not your typical “flat sounding” preamp. In fact it is basically the same preamp as that found in our acclaimed X100M amp, but with a few extras thrown in. Each of the 3 channels is completely separated from the other channels and has a dedicated EQ section that uses our innovative Total Band Suppression EQ technology. Each frequency can be adjusted and eliminated if wanted without affecting the other frequencies. This preamp is built with not even one compromise made. The goal here was pure, ballsy, ultimate guitar tone and that’s what we achieved.

The X100M Has 3 Distinct Channels

Clean: This channel is all about tonal definition. It produces a transparent, authentic clean tone that is both warm and brilliant at the same time and with harmonic overtones to die for. It is also extremely responsive to the guitarist’s touch and reproduces playing dynamics flawlessly.

Crunch: What stands out the most is the explosive dynamics this channel offers. This channel can range from a “bitey” mild distortion to that sought after vintage, harmonic rich crunch alà AC/DC that is so hard to find anymore.

Lead: Hot, defined and ballsy is the only way to describe it. Fluid, saturated distortions that are dripping in harmonics. And this channel features a voicing switch for two channels, the orange and red. The red channel will take you to distortion nirvana.
