Two Notes Audio Engineering Le Lead

The Lead is a tube preamp in pedal format, made in France, designed to recreate the tones of modern high-gain amps inspired by the Mesa Boogie Mark and Rectifier, as well as Soldano heads. It belongs to the "Le Preamp" series and incorporates a genuine 12AX7/ECC83 tube operating at high voltage (200V), offering dynamics, compression, and playing response comparable to those of a real tube amp. It features two independent channels (Modern and Vintage), usable separately or combined via the Fusion mode, allowing it to cover a wide tonal spectrum from powerful crunch to high-gain saturation for hard rock and metal. Equipped with full EQ, an effects loop, an XLR output with Torpedo cabinet simulation, a headphone output, MIDI, and comprehensive connectivity, it can be used in front of an amp, in an effects loop, or directly into an audio interface or mixing console. Highly regarded for its realism, versatility and high gain level without loss of definition, it is considered one of the best tube preamps in pedal format in its class.
