TSAKALIS AUDIOWORKS - Mothership, Tube Overdrive, Preamp

Merging the authentic analogue warmth of real tubes with a highly configurable cabinet simulator, the MOTHERSHIP – Real Tube Preamp emerges as a standout, offering unparalleled features and flexibility for any guitar rig.

With identical yet customizable channels, the MOTHERSHIP invites you to explore creativity. Each channel boasts three gain modes—High, Medium, and Low—along with a toggle switch for three captivating speaker simulations, empowering you to effortlessly craft a multitude of iconic, familiar, and unique tones. Two master gain controls and two master volumes on each channel enable you to recall four distinct voices in an instant, igniting your musical expression at the touch of a footswitch or MIDI command.

As a fully comprehensive plug-and-play device, the MOTHERSHIP opens the door to over 70 free custom cabinet simulations when connected to Tsakalis’ TAW Editor app via USB. With dedicated outputs for both the cabinet simulator and your amp’s "dry" output, MIDI control for effortless channel and A/B selection, and a serial mono effects loop for tonal versatility, the MOTHERSHIP inspires the artist within you to reach new heights.
