TC Electronic Ampworx Dual Wreck Preamp

Today, we begin our journey of the exploration of the Ampworx Series of preamp pedals from our friends at TC Electronic. We’re going to look at all six effects in the series (so far), starting with their three latest releases, and moving through the previous three, over the coming weeks. Let’s begin with the Dual Wreck Preamp, a monster that emulates the classic Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier amp, utilizing component-based modeling technology to capture the unmistakable sound and exhilarating experience of the amp that helped shape metal, grunge, and rock music of the 90s…

The Dual Wreck a true-to-life digital simulation of a 1995 Revision G Dual Rectifier tube amplifier, created using TC Electronics unique AMPWORX modeling technology. Every detail of the original tube amp has been lovingly re-created in painstaking detail by the TC tone technicians, right down to every last component in the circuit, bringing you the best digital amp modeling experience available. The goal here went beyond technical measurements, as TC also wanted to capture the authentic and genuine feel of this wonderful amplifier.

The list of features here is long, but the Dual Wreck is also ready to rock right out of the box. Switch between the Dual Rec channel and a high-gain lead channel, add in up to +18dB of on-board Boost, and dial in your perfect sound with 7 parameters, including Tight and Presence controls. The Boost can be set Pre- or Post-Amp, for a variety of flavors, and the D.I. options integrates the official Celestion impulse response of the legendary Vintage 30 speakers in a closed back 4×12 cab.

There’s a lot going on in this pedal, and there’s a TON of extra info on the TC Electronic website, so be sure to head over for all the details.
