When you call two and a half years of development on a product “Awesome Channel Amplifier“, it had better be just that. It is. And we invite all debunkers.
The AwTAC Channel Amplifier is:
Fucking Awesome
A Double Wide 500 Module
5 Awesomes will fit in a Purple Audio Sweet Ten Rack.
A Mic Pre
A Line Level Amplifier
A Three Band EQ with a three frequency baxandall high and low shelf and an inductor based 10 band midrange.
A Kick Ass Direct Box
for guitars, basses, electric pianos, lap steels or anything else with a pickup that needs an amazing high impedance input to shine.
A Mixer
The AwTAC Channel Amp has an LCR passive mix buss (left – center- right selectable just like most consoles had up to the late 60’s, no pan pot) in the unit. Since it is a double wide module, we were able to use the extra set of I/O jacks for a mix buss. With a standard XLR cable, you can connect one Awesome into another and *POW* now you have a mixer. Just like that. The buss level, just like the paradigm of all lust worthy classic consoles with a passive buss, is conveniently set at mic level. After you’ve chained all your Channel Amps together, we’ve devised a special (awesome if you will) breakout cable that plugs into the standard XLR jack and delivers the Left and Right buss to the mic pre’s of your choice. This obviously sets you up for a myriad of tonal choices when both tracking with multiple mic’s mixed to a mono source (there are still *some* people that track guitars like this, right?) and mixing your stems (or tracks) from your DAW.
The mixing functionality is designed to work with all (every) 500 rack currently on the market. If it has a male and female XLR, you can use that rack to build a mixer out of Channel Amps. Please inquire if you have a rack with TT jacks and we’ll come up with an easy solution for you.
So yeah, its a MIXER. And a fucking good sounding one at that.
