TC ELECTRONIC V550 PRE AMP
Twin-Channel Guitar Preamp Faithfully Recreates the Sound of Legendary 5150 High Gain Tube Amp in a Pedal with Independent Channel Controls, Pre/Post Boost, Optional Cab Sim and Dedicated Outputs for DI and Headphones.

FEATURES

  • Guitar preamp pedal faithfully recreates the tone, touch and feel of the legendary MK1 Script Logo 5150 tube amp from 1992
  • Two channels with independent gain, volume and EQ controls for high octane rock and metal tones
  • Green channel (Rhythm + Crunch) ranges from pristine cleans through to hard rock crunch
  • Red channel (Lead) delivers huge levels of gain for heavy rock, classic shred and brutal metal tones
  • Integrated booster activates 5 dB boost at the kick of a footswitch with Pre/Post option on the back panel
  • Pre boost dialled in to drive the amp model harder and add a distinct mid hump like a classic overdrive pedal
  • Dedicated DI output, equipped with official Celestion 4×12 G12M Heritage cab sim IR, turns your pedalboard into a gig-ready rig direct to PA system or audio interface for recording
  • Dedicated headphone output, equipped with official Celestion 4×12 G12M Heritage cab sim IR, for huge tube amp tones and practice sessions that won’t disturb your neighbours
  • Master presence, set it and forget it, control on the rear panel to tailor your preamp and compensate for darker or brighter rigs and rooms
  • Optional bypass or always on channel change footswitch modes
  • Groundbreaking TC AMPWORX modelling technology provides low latency, huge dynamic range and feels like the real deal
  • Perfect pedalboard-friendly pedal platform takes drive pedals like a champ

Introducing the V550 preamp pedal that embodies a charismatic sonic profile reminiscent of the original tapping guitar god: Eddie van Halen.

The foundation of the V550 is rooted in a true modern amp classic from the 90s, and we went ‘that extra mile’ over and over again in our quest to model the essence of this amp. We were committed to reaching perfection, ensuring that every aspect of the sound, look, and feel was flawlessly executed before presenting you with this high-gain monster of a pedal.
