™
II Rack
We thank you for your purchase of the most versatile and best designed tube preamp
rack on the market. We are confident this product will meet your desires to acquire the
Real "TUBE" sound.
TAKE TIME TO KNOW THE "RACK"
The rack is a very versatile unit. Please take the necessary time to look over this man-
ual and become familiar with the basic layout of controls as well as the unique fea-
tures. Take time and let your ears guide you through the tonal possibilities. The EZ
sections have been carefully optimized for current and classic playing styles and have
an extremely wide range of control. It is possible that you may be just a "tweak" away
from your desired sound, so be patient and jot down the settings that you prefer most.
Also become fully aware of the several mode combinations possible with the two chan-
nels plus the channel stacking feature.
APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW
The Real Tube II Rack is a two-channel tube preamp designed for guitar use. The wide
input range of channel 2 allows it to remain clean even with high transient inputs. The
stereo effects loop and adjust- able send and receive levels aid greatly in achieving
proper signal level and signal to noise ratio regardless of the effect used. This unit can
be used with either basic power amplifiers or combo (Instrument level) amplifiers. We
strongly recommend that you audition this preamp with our MosValve power amplifier,
as this combination will insure optimum tone and performance.
