4 Introducing the Le Preamp
Two notes is first and foremost a team of music lovers who are all great admirers of musicians. We
are highly qualified engineers, technicians, and musicians, whose purpose is to facilitate the life of
guitar and bass players without infringing on their playing habits. Our mission consists in providing
them with studio-grade products that are specifically designed for the guitar and bass.
From the moment we launched the Torpedo C.A.B., we believed it was possible to build a high
quality pedalboard to entirely replace a conventional tube amplifier system: the complete floor rig.
Even with an almost limitless choice of available guitar effects, we always felt that finding a very good
preamplifier in a pedal format was challenging. This is why Two notes is proud to premier its line of
tube preamplifiers: Le Clean, Le Crunch, Le Lead and Le Bass.
4.1 The concept
The selection of a preamplifier is the core of your overall tone and thus requires the greatest attention. When building a complete floor rig, only the very best will make the cut. The Two notes
preamplifiers are a True High Voltage Design running internally at 200 volts to preserve the interaction
between you and your guitar while working perfectly with your other effect pedals. Each of the four
different versions deliver the unique tube warmth, dynamics, and the musical compression from the
amps we know and love, now in a more convenient pedal package. And, of course, you can use
them as an elaborate tube overdrive, in front of your favorite amplifier!
4.2 Two channels plus Fusion mode
The A and B channels are totally independent, each with their own voicing and eq section: Bass
and Treble on A, Bass, Mid with Mid Sweep and Treble for B. On Channel A you will find a lower gain
tube stage with a pre-gain EQ using a more vintage design approach, while Channel B offers more
gain and a very powerful post-EQ (with mid sweep). The exclusive Fusion modes open new horizons.
In “Hot Fusion”, A and B are cascaded, meaning A can be used as a boost for B with both A and
B EQ’s available to shape the result. In “Cold Fusion”, the two channels are in parallel, meaning
