Tsakalis Audioworks MOTHERSHIP Real Tube Preamp with Cabinet Simulation and MIDI Control Tsakalis is proud to release their most ambitious product to date. Seamlessly blending the authentic analogue warmth of real tubes with a highly configurable cabinet simulator, plus flexible outputs and control options, the MOTHERSHIP - Real Tube Preamp stands out as possibly the most highly featured and flexible front end for any guitar rig currently available. Both channels on the MOTHERSHIP are identical, yet highly configurable. Featuring three gain modes (High, Medium and Low) on each channel, along with a toggle switch for selecting between your three chosen speaker simulations, the MOTHERSHIP can conjure up a multitude of both iconic, familiar and unique tones easily and intuitively. Each channel also features two master gain controls along with two master volumes, allowing four different voices to be instantly recalled, either by pressing the relevant footswitch or via MIDI command. Demonstrating its prowess as a fully comprehensive plug and play device, the MOTHERSHIP also features over 70 free custom cabinet simulations to choose from (when connected to Tsakalis’ own TAW Editor app via USB), separate dedicated simultaneous outputs for both the cabinet simulator and a “dry” output for your amp of choice, MIDI control of channel and A/B selection and also a serial mono FX loop for added tonal versatility. The MOTHERSHIP is a complete solution for authentic vintage and modern genuine tube amp tones, in a user-friendly and lightweight, yet rugged package that is designed to slot in easily into any setup. Main Features: • Dual Channel Tube Preamp with Overdrive • 2 ECC83s (12AX7) preamp tubes run at 240 V internally - for incredible headroom and genuine tube-amp feel and dynamics • 2 independent channels capable of producing everything from sparkling cleans to tight heavy distorted tones • 2 individual Gain/Volume sections for each channel selectable via a dedicated footswitch - 4 tones on tap at any time • Individual 4-band EQ per channel (Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence) • 3 gain stages per channel selectable via the MODE toggle switch • 3 user-selectable cabinet simulations per channel selectable via the CAB toggle switch • Serial effects loop - active even when in bypass mode - for looping in e.g. time-based effects between preamp and Cab Sim • Dedicated TRS cabinet simulation output with ground lift - active even when in bypass mode • Dedicated output for connecting to the front of an amp or a power amp, selectable by toggle switch • Full MIDI compatibility - 128 user-customizable and programmable MIDI presets • USB port for uploading Cab Sims to the six slots (three per channel) - choose from the free Tsakalis Audioworks online library of 70+ selected high-quality cab simulations • Multifunction Latching or Momentary function footswitches • Integrated input buffer - only active when in bypass mode • Handmade in Athens, Greece • Powered by (included) 12 V DC power adapter (2,1 mm, center -, 700 mA current draw) FULLY FEATURED ALL-ANALOG REAL TUBE PREAMP DESIGN The MOTHERSHIP represents the perfect “amp-in-a-box” pedal, seamlessly blending a beautifully designed, real tube front end with a highly flexible cabinet modelling solution. However, it also shines as a genuine tube overdrive pedal when connected to the front of your amplifier, or when running it as the tone-defining preamp section of your setup, directly into your power amp. It can also do both of these things simultaneously. QUAD CHANNEL TUBE PREAMP AND DRIVE This preamp pedal has two completely independent channels, each featuring a four-band EQ, two different Gain/Volume sections, three selectable gain-stages and three selectable cabinet simulations, plus a serial mono effects-loop for your external effects, MIDI in and free access to Tsakalis Audioworks’ full free online library of carefully selected and curated digital cabinet simulations. The MOTHERSHIP’s two independent channels were carefully designed with a real tube audio path, providing a huge range of tones from warm or sparkling cleans all the way to high gain tube driven distortion. The two ECC83 (12AX7) tubes, run at a comfortable 240 Volts, providing touch sensitivity, headroom and plenty of gain and tube sag as required.   Each channel features a four band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble and Presence) and two different Gain and Volume controls (Gain A-Volume A / Gain B-Volume B) transforming the MOTHERSHIP into a quad channel powerhouse. The dedicated MODE switch for each channel is responsible for the tube audio path structure, giving 3 different gain modes L = Low, M = Mid and H = High, allowing you to easily customize completely different lead and rhythm tones with different gain structures as well as a solo volume boost for each and access them on-the-fly by simply pressing the relevant footswitch. SUPREME DIGITAL CABINET SIMULATION Each channel’s dedicated CAB switch provides 3 different user-definable cabinet simulations. Select from the wide range of curated, free and most importantly supreme-quality cabinet simulations available in the online Tsakalis AudioWorks library and upload them to the MOTHERSHIP via USB using the TAW Editor app (available for PC, Mac and Linux). STATE-OF-THE-ART CONTROL AND CONNECTIVITY All three of the MOTHERSHIP’s footswitches can be used in latching or momentary mode, simply by either tapping or holding them down longer. Latching mode works with a normal press of the switch (shorter than 600ms), while Momentary mode is engaged by simply holding down the footswitch for the longer period of time required. But that’s not all! The MOTHERSHIP is also capable of being controlled via MIDI program change messages using its dedicated MIDI Input. With 128 presets at your disposal, along with an intuitive and simple method for saving and recalling them, the MOTHERSHIP is set to become an indispensable centrepiece for the modern guitar setup.

Use it as an amp DI between your amp and the cabinet to send your true tube tone to the PA. Pair it with a dummy load to practice your tube amp silently at home with headphones and jam with backing tracks by using the AUX input. The MultiCab MK4 lets you do all the above and more without having to deal with any complex menus and sub-menus. An easy plug’n’play set-up lets you dial in the perfect settings in a matter of minutes. A mixture of elements from both analog and digital worlds were used to achieve the most realistic response. While developing the MultiCab MK4 we made a conscious decision not to use IR technology. This way, and in conjunction with parallel analog audio path, we managed to create a unit that minimizes latency up to 1.2 ms, providing the most genuine and direct experience possible. It features 8 presets each pre-loaded with a different virtual guitar cabinet heavily inspired by some legendary and iconic guitar amps and cabinets. Each virtual cab in the MultiCab MK4 has been created by recording the actual real cabinet itself in the T.A.W. HQ, using a selection of different microphones. Through trial and error, we’ve managed to recreate each cab’s tone and feel as accurately as possible. The MultiCab4’s always active analog path is responsible for the pre-amp modes, power amp voicing, cabinet back type and microphone type voicing. The pedals parallel digital path is responsible for the virtual guitar cabinets and room ambience. Its pre-amp section was designed with 2 JFET stages for a tube like response and touch, featuring a versatile tone control and 2 modes (CLEAN & HOT). MultiCab4’s power section mimics the voicing and feel of a power amp in a push pull topology loaded with EL34 or 6L6 tubes, while the cabinet type section features 3 selections of cabinet back types (CLOSE, SEMI-OPEN & OPEN). Finally, the microphone section is responsible for the microphone type providing 3 types of microphone voicing (DYNAMIC, RIBBON & BOTH) With the AMBIENCE control you can adjust the level of natural room ambience. Imagine having a 3rd microphone, placed away from the cabinet, that captures the reflections from the room in which the cab is placed. Dial it past noon for a warm and small sized reverb effect. The T.A.W. Editor application is a simple and user-friendly application through which set up your Multicab 4 device. More specifically, you can determine which cabinet will be assigned to each one of the 8 available slots of your device. Just drag and drop the cab you want to load from the right side of the app to the desired preset number on the left side and you are ready! Many other features such as rename a cab, mark a cab as favorite, import new cabs, create bundles of 8 cabs to name few, are available and easy to be done.
