Two notes Audio Engineering have announced that users of their OPUS amp and cabinet modelling system can now add another three preamp models to their device free of charge. The TriTone Collective Preamp Series introduces a pair of models aimed at guitarists along with a contemporary bass preamp.
The first of the two guitar preamps comes in the form of Tanger, which the company say covers everything from a well-rounded, articulate clean tone through to full-throttle high-gain onslaught. The model promises plenty of sustain and a Brit-inspired gain stage that can be tailored to suit just about any performance or recording scenario.
ElDorado then focuses on hard rock and metal sounds, combining a tight response with a wealth of harmonic overtones. Bassists benefit from the addition of Aviator, a versatile model that boasts a strong low-end and comes equipped with a gain stage that delivers plenty of punch when pushed, but still retains clarity.
