Description
Just pedals are excited to share the latest New Compressor Pedals by ART, the ART TUBE MP/C PreAmplifier & Compressor Compressor Pedals is a great Compressor choice for new and experienced guitarists alike.. Read More below for more images, videos and latest UK prices from the ART brand, delivered by a UK retailer, with warranty & more.
Loaded with options, the Tube MP/C is the most advanced member of the Tube MP family.
Like every Tube MP, it’s a microphone preamp and instrument DI designed to deliver real tube warmth. It features XLR and 1/4″ connections, phantom power, boost, and phase reversal.
The MP/C also includes a robust compressor. When engaged, the circuit offers variable threshold, switchable fast or auto release times, a switchable slope for compression or limiting ratios, and gain-reduction metering.
Unique among the Tube MP line, the MP/C can switch its outputs between line level and instrument level. Line level is typically used when connecting to other recording gear such as audio interfaces or signal processors. Instrument level can be used for applications like reamping a DI track back into a guitar amplifier, or feeding the XLR output into a microphone preamp on a console.
A front-panel instrument input, tube-drive and output-level meters, and a switchable 70 Hz high-pass filter complete the feature set. Compact and powerful, the Tube MP/C brings the versatility of a channel strip to a convenient desktop format.
