The TC Electronic AmpWorx High-Gain Series Dual Wreck is a dual-channel guitar preamp pedal. It faithfully recreates the heavy sound of an iconic American valve amplifer from the '90s, but in a convenient and compact stompbox with independent channel controls, a foot-switchable pre/post boost, an official Celestion cab sim IR, and dedicated DI/headphone outputs.
The original tube-driven amp that the Dual Wreck is based on is synonymous with American hard rock and metal, and has been used by some of the biggest artists from those genres — including Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, Devin Townsend, Mark Tremonti and countless others. Fizzy, saturated, and capable of delivering thunderous low-end punch, the distinctive "Dual Rec" tone has been used to great effect on hundreds of influential records. And now, you can get your hands — and feet — on this huge guitar sound but in a far more portable package, and at an affordable price-point to boot!
Key Features
- Faithfully recreates the tone, touch and feel of the legendary "Revision G" Dual Rectifier tube amp from 1995.
- Two channels with independent gain, volume and EQ controls. Green channel (clean rhythm) ranges from pristine cleans through to edgy blues tones, while the red channel (lead) delivers huge levels of gain for high-octane rock, classic shred and '90s metal tones.
- Integrated booster activates 5 dB of boost at the kick of a footswitch with pre/post option on the back panel.
- The pre boost is dialled in to drive the amp model harder, and adds a distinct mid hump like a classic "green" overdrive pedal. The post boost setting adds volume without changing your core sound — it just makes it louder!
- Dedicated DI output, equipped with an official Celestion 4×12" V30 cab sim IR, turns your pedalboard into a gig-ready rig that you can plug directly into a PA system, or an audio interface for recording.
- Headphone output equipped with the very same Celestion cab sim IR, for huge tube amp tones straight to your ears. No more annoying the neighbours!
- Set-it-and-forget-it master presence control on the rear panel lets you tailor the preamp and compensate for darker or brighter rigs and rooms.
- An optional bypass mode can be activated by pressing the 'Boost' and 'Channel' footswitches at the same time. This allows you to punch the pedal in whenever you want, if you're using it like a standard stompbox into a guitar amp.
- Groundbreaking TC AmpWorx modelling technology provides low-latency, huge dynamic range and feels just like the real deal.
- Perfect, pedalboard-friendly pedal platform takes overdrives like a champ!
- Designed and engineered in Denmark.
