The 2UBES VTX is a modern adaptation of a classic 60's push-pull microphone preamplifier design from a vacuum tube recording console. It uses custom designed audio transformers, is managed by a microcontroller and controlled remotely via WiFi if desired. It has two modes, "Clean" and "Glow" which changes the first stage plate load from passive to active. "Clean" is a classic honest Triode sound. "Glow" mimics a Pentode tube for something more retro. Two useful sounds. Push-Pull design also sounds different than the more common single-ended tube mic preamp designs out there. Different harmonic content as Push-Pull tends to cancel even harmonics and sum the odd harmonics..
Motorized Potentiometer provides smooth, transparent remote gain adjustment via slider control.
