Practically identical. The Rock Master Preamp Pedal is equipped with the same TransTube technology that gave the '90s preamp its punchy, tube-like response. The gain and EQ architecture remains true to the original Rock Master amp's "Ultra" channel.
Yes, the Rock Master Preamp Pedal is essentially an "amp in a box" pedal. This means it offers everything that an amplifier's preamp section would, including gain controls and EQ for tone shaping.
Yes, the Rock Master Preamp Pedal will work with any guitar combo amp or amp head. If your amp has an FX loop, connect the preamp pedal to the input or return for the FX loop to completely bypass the preamp section. You can also plug straight in to the guitar input: set the amp's gain to a clean tone and leave the amp's EQ controls neutral for best results.
No. The Rock Master Preamp Pedal is intended to be used to supercharge the front end of your amplifier, plug into a power amp with speakers, or connect to a speaker emulator. You can also record the output of the preamp pedal and apply IR speaker emulation in your DAW.
Yes, you can use the Rock Master Preamp Pedal to replace a traditional amplifier in performance and recording situations. Keep in mind that you will want to apply speaker emulation in your signal chain for realistic amp tones.
Very well. Power is stepped up to 30 volts internally for high-headroom dynamics, giving you the range you need for punchy clean tones. Adding gain delivers the tenacious and saturated sound of the classic Ultra channel. A Gain footswitch makes it easy to switch between cleaner rhythm tones and searing lead tones.
