Iconic high-gain tube tone in a compact stompbox.
The TC Electronic Ampworx Dual Wreck preamp pedal brings the thunderous distortion and tight low end of a legendary dual-channel tube amp to your pedalboard. Utilizing advanced Ampworx modeling technology, it authentically recreates the iconic 1990s-era rock and metal tone in a simple, stompbox-sized unit. With independent controls for each channel, plus a footswitchable boost, the Dual Wreck gives you ultimate flexibility right at your feet.
Shape Your Sound With Independent Channel Controls
The Dual Wreck allows you to dial in the exact gain staging and tone you want for each channel, just like having two separate amps. Tweak the gain, volume, bass, mid, treble and presence controls to customize your rhythm and lead sounds. Footswitch between the channels for on-the-fly tone shaping during a live performance. The preamp pedal makes it easy to recreate the dual-channel experience in a portable package.
Boost Your Solos with the Footswitchable Gain Boost
When it's time for your guitar to cut through the mix, step on the onboard boost footswitch to send your tone into overdrive. The Dual Wreck offers the flexibility to set the boost pre or post preamp stage, giving you options between a volume lift or more saturated distortion. Kick in the boost for your solos to make them sing.
Shape Your Sound With Optional Cabinet Simulation
For recording direct or headphone playing, the Dual Wreck includes an optional cabinet-simulated output. The built-in Celestion Vintage 30 speaker IR authentically recreates the sound of a 4x12 guitar cab miked up in the studio. Blend in just the right amount of cab simulation to polish your direct signal.
Tweak Your Tone for Any Setting
Further tweak your tones with the global presence control and 3-band active EQ. Scoop the mids or add low-end punch for the perfect mix-ready tone. The Dual Wreck also includes a built-in cab simulation based on a classic 4x12 cab loaded with V30 speakers so you can plug straight into a PA or interface. It also has a headphone output with cabinet simulation for silent practice anywhere. Whether you want to precisely craft tones at home or need stage-ready sounds, the Dual Wreck delivers iconic high-gain attitude.
Built for Both Stage and Studio Use
With its dedicated XLR DI output and headphone/line output, the Dual Wreck works great both onstage and in the recording studio. Its small size takes up minimal pedalboard real estate, yet packs a huge high-gain punch. Relive the iconic dual-channel tube amp experience with the Dual Wreck preamp pedal.
