DUAL WRECK PREAMP
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the DUAL WRECK PREAMP pedal. In this unit you will find a true-to-life
digital simulation of a 1995 Revision G Dual Rectifier* tube amplifier, created using TC Electronics unique
AMPWORX modeling technology. Every detail of the original tube amp has been lovingly re-created in
painstaking detail by the TC tone technicians, right down to every last component in the circuit. Bringing you
the best digital amp modeling experience available.

Celestion CAB SIM
To provide you with a DI-ready pedalboard setup solution for connection to PA systems, recording interfaces
and headphones, we've partnered up with the best in the business and supplied you with an official
Celestion Digital impulse response of a 4 x 12 Celestion V30 loaded cabinet, so it's ready to roll right out of
the box via dedicated DI and Headphone outputs.
Custom MODS
What would a beautiful vintage tube amp be without a couple of hand-crafted boutique mods? We've added
some optional modifications, so you can tailor the pedal to your liking:
• TIGHT – This function in DUAL WRECK tweaks the low frequencies so you can find a good compromise
between "fat low end" and "tight feeling". When this parameter is 0, the original signal path is preserved.
• BOOST – DUAL WRECK comes fully armed with a booster that can be engaged and disengaged via the
BOOST footswitch. On the back panel of the pedal you will find a PRE/POST toggle switch which will let
you select what kind of booster you want.
1. PRE – In PRE your booster will act like a vintage overdrive pedal stacked in front of your amp model,
providing more gain and a distinct mid hump. Perfect for solos and pushing the amp model, adding
more drive.
2. POST – In POST your booster will be a completely clean volume boost with no change to the tone or feel
of the amp model, it just gets louder.
Controls
NOTE: All controls on the back panel of the pedal
are global and not saved per channel. Intended to
"set and forget".
NOTE: All controls values on the top panel of
the pedal and the BOOST footswitch status,
are independent per channel and save their settings
automatically when you switch between channels.

Quick Start Guide
1. IN – Connect your instrument to this jack by
using an instrument cable with a ¼"

2. OUT – Outputs the amplifier model without
speaker cab sim. Connect to dedicated power
amplifier, amp FX RETURN, amplifier input or
external IR (Impulse Response) loader.
3. DI (CAB SIM) – Outputs the amplifier model,
combined with official Celestion Impulse
Response speaker cabinet for direct input to
audio interface, FRFR (full range) cabinet or
PA system.
4. PRESENCE – This control globally sets the
presence for both channels.
The PRESENCE 'set it and forget' knob allows
you to adjust the overall brightness of your
sound to suit your setup and outboard gear.
5. BOOST (PRE/POST) – This switch controls
whether the boost is applied before the amp
(PRE) for more distortion with +18 dB (Green
channel) or +10 dB (Red channel) of gain boost,
or applied after the amp (POST) for +4 dB boost
in volume.
6. DC IN – Connect a standard 9 V / ≥300 mA
power supply to this jack. Power supply
not included.
7. USB – Connect to a computer using the
included mini-USB cable for firmware updates.
8. PHONES – Connect headphones with a 1/8"
(3.5 mm) stereo jack. Includes AMP MODEL
with CAB SIM.
9. GAIN – Sets the input gain.
10. TIGHT – Sets the amount of bass cut before
the amplifier to improve the "tightness" of the
overall distortion.
