Le Crunch

Le Crunch by Two Notes is a versatile tube preamp pedal designed to deliver classic British stack amp tones. It features two independent channels, A and B, each with its own voicing and EQ section. Channel A offers a lower gain tube stage with a pre-gain EQ, while Channel B provides more gain and a powerful post-EQ with mid sweep. The pedal also includes exclusive Fusion modes: Cold Fusion, blending cleaner sound from A with a more distorted sound from B, and Hot Fusion, cascading A as a boost for B.

The pedal offers high-quality electronic design, running internally at 200 volts to preserve the interaction between the player and the guitar while working seamlessly with other effect pedals. It also integrates analog speaker simulation specifically voiced for the Le Crunch model, affecting the DI output and the headphones output.

Le Crunch can be used in various configurations, such as a traditional preamplifier connected to a power amplifier and cabinet, or as a boost, overdrive, or distortion pedal when placed before an amplifier. It can also function as an autonomous system, ready to be directly connected to a mixing board on stage or in the studio. The pedal features MIDI capabilities, allowing for seamless integration into any pedalboard switching system.
