overdrive/preamplificatore valvolare per chitarra - i 4 canali programmabili, i controlli, le manopole motorizzate e il meraviglioso suono valvolare fanno dello spin doctor una gioiello dell’ingegneria e della ricerca sonora. il suono dello spin doctor è meravigliosamente saturato ed è un trionfo del design, disponendo di una vasta gamma di dispositivi racchiusi in un set di controlli molto intuitivo e semplici da utilizzare. lo spin doctor è un pedale intelligente: puoi collegarlo direttamente al tuo amplificatore sul palco per avere il miglior pedale distorsore sul pianeta, puoi migliorare il suono dell’amplificatore con quattro canali di overdrive custom (ciascuno con la propria regolazione di gain, bassi, medi, acuti e presenza), puoi bypassare lo spindoctor per avere il suono originale del tuo amplificatore e puoi inoltre usare lo spin doctor come un preamplificatore (collegandolo direttamente ad un finale tramite il jack di uscita). in studio puoi usare l’uscita speaker-simulator per collegarti al mixer o ad un convertitore ad per connetterti al computer. lo spin doctor ha anche un intuitiva implementazione midi che ti permetta di creare e memorizzare canali addizionali tramite un’unità midi esterna.
riassumendo:
• 4 canali con la pasta sonora t-rex. per ogni canale puoi settare il gain, il tono e l’output esattamente come vuoi. passare da un canale all’altro e fare gli aggiustamenti al volo è semplice, veloce e intuitivo.
• i controlli di tono (bassi, medi, acuti e presence) permettono di affinare il suono indipendentemente per ogni canale. quando cambi canale, cambiano anche i settaggi fornendo la perfetta profondità del suono e il sustain indipendentemente dal gain che vuoi aggiungere.
• le manopole motorizzate si muovono al cambio di canale, proprio come il fader di un mixer da studio professionale. non sono soltanto divertenti da vedere..., ma assolvono la fondamentale missione di poter controllare con un’occhiata il settaggio dei parametri.
• il drive valvolare fornisce tutto lo spettro di un gain analogico in una sola manopola! basta abbassarlo per avere un clean sound con una leggera increspatura crunch. alzando quella manopola vieni sovrastato dal gain e... se non basta, c’è il pulsante boost.
controlli: gain + tone + out level + boost + bass + mid + treble + preset +sim level + frequency - switches: on/off a + on/off b + on/off c + on/off d.
tone-lovers around the world – say hello to spindoctor, the revolutionary new overdrive preamp from t-rex engineering. with 4 programmable channels, a full set of tone controls, motorised knobs and gorgeous tube-driven tone, spindoctor is a wonder of sonic craftsmanship and engineering.
stunning features, brilliant design
spindoctor delivers all the beautiful, saturated sound you’ve come to expect from t-rex. but it’s also a triumph of design – packing a stunning array of features into a set of controls so intuitive and easy to use, you’ll have to try to believe it. here’s what you get:
4 channels of t-rex tone. for each channel, you set the gain, tone and output exactly how you want it. switching between channels and making adjustments on the fly is simple, fast and intuitive.
tone controls let you tune your tone (bass, mid, treble and presence) for each individual channel. when you switch channels, all your settings change too – giving you the perfect depth, sustain and edge no matter how much gain you apply.
motorised knobs move when you switch channels – like faders on a state-of-the-art studio mixing board. they’re way cool, but they also provide mission-critical visual cues that let you monitor your settings at a glance – and adjust them in milliseconds.
tube drive gives you the entire spectrum of analogue gain in a single knob. turn it down low for a clean tube sound with just a bit of edge. turn it up to lay on the gain. and if you want even more – hit the boost button and blast off into the stratosphere of world-class overdrive.
an intelligent distortion pedal
plug spindoctor into your stage amp, and you’ve got nothing less than the best distortion pedal on the planet. you’ll enhance your amp with 4 custom channels of analogue overdrive – each with its own settings for gain, bass, mid, treble, presence and output. and you can bypass your spindoctor from any channel for a clean sound straight from your amp.
a complete preamp for your guitar
you can also use spindoctor as a complete guitar preamp, plugging it directly into a power amp via the output jack. in the studio, use the speaker-simulation output to plug into a studio mixer or ad converter connected to your computer. special level and frequency knobs let you set the volume and define the character of your “cabinet”. and finally, spindoctor’s intuitive midi implementation lets you create and store additional channels via an external midi device.
take it for a spin
at t-rex engineering, we’re convinced that spindoctor is simply the best product we’ve ever built. take it for a spin – and you’ll understand why it’s the one pedal you can’t live without.
