General

The gymnastic level of flexibility offered by the heavy-duty stompbox formatted Koch Pedaltone II can be placed before a power amp, hooked up to the clean-channel of a guitar amplifier or connected to directly to a mixer to add pure tube-driven tone to your sound. Three 12AX7 tubes take care of a two-channel preamp section while a fourth drives a 0.5 Watt OTS power amplifier for the effect of full power amp tubes that sounds fatter than ever.

The Sixteen Sides of the Pedaltone II

The Pedaltone II provides a total of 16 possible settings. So, you get the choice of Channel 1 Clean, Channel 1 Enhanced, Channel 2 Distortion, and Channel 2 Boost. The OTS (Output Tube Saturation) can be applied to every mode and there's even the option to flip between Rhythm-volume and Solo-volume. All of this is brought together by a solid steel housing fitted with five outputs, including a headphone output and record-out, both of which come with speaker simulation.

Koch Quality

After a long career as a guitarist and tube amp expert, Dolf Koch founded his own company in 1988. Ever since then, the brand has developed high-quality guitar and bass amplifiers that focus on practicality, versatility and the delivery of a balanced, unique sound. Since each amp is carefully constructed and diligently tested in great detail, it's little wonder that so many professionals rely on Koch quality!

Koch Pedaltone II Preamp
Wrote the following about Koch Pedaltone II Preamp
Eigenlijk beetje op gevoel en onverwacht gekocht. Heb aardig wat dingen geprobeerd om zonder luide versterker te kunnen spelen. Zowel headphones als direct in PA. Kwam ik al snel op digitaal/modeling uit. Niets wat me maar iets enthousiast maakte. Altijd een tegenvaller. Mechanisch en gevoelloos geluid. Of een chaos van instellingen en parameters. Hou van een dikke warme buizen sound, fender amps. Maar ook vele andere merken die me pakken.
Toen ik dit pedaal aansloot, koptelefoon op. Was gelijk overtuigd, dit is de sound van mijn gitaren. Puur, warm, veelzijdig. Heerlijk helder clean, randje erop. Tot stevige gain. Geen extreme sounds maar een heel breed bruikbaar sound pallet. Dezelfde avond de line-out via mono DI aangesloten op PA. Zowel over de speakers als in-ear, dezelfde sound als met de koptelefoon. Blijer kon ik niet worden. Constant niveau in de mix, in welke trap dan ook. Dan kun je hem ook nog eens op je eindversterker aansluiten mocht dat nodig zijn. Of zelfs op je voorversterker. Wat dit pedaal eigenlijk heel breed bruikbaar maakt. Van in de avond thuis op de bank wat pingelen tot de grootste gigs. De bediening is zo doordacht en eenvoudig. Je hoeft nooit weg te vallen qua sound. Beste pre-amp pedaal ooit, wat mij betreft. Voor deze prijs helemaal. Bouw er wat extra effect pedalen eromheen naar wens. Set up klaar en goed! Koch bedankt voor dit meesterwerk! En Bax-shop bedankt voor snelle levering, 10 % kortingscode en B-stock optie.

Fantastisch apparaat! Veel aansluitmogelijkheden (PA, clean input gitaar, effect in op gitaarversterker, hoofdtelefoon) en overdrive in verschillende makkelijk te kiezen varianten. Ontzetten goed gebouwd en solide apparaat. Klein minpuntje is de stroomvoorziening: de meegeleverde Chinese adapter wordt gloeiend heet en heeft een heel dun draadje. Ik ben bang dat die nog een keer gaat klappen. Verder heb ik voor een mooie galm nog een electro Harmonix holy grail reverb aangeschaft. Nu een prachtige variatie aan buizengeluiden met reverb voor het geluid de PA in gaat of mijn opnameinterface bereikt.

Wel een beetje lastig om de wah op de goede plek te krijgen (effectlust of voor input) als ik over mijn hoofdtelefoon speel.

Koch Brings the Past to the Present with the Classictone II Series

Monday 13 June 2016 By Richard | Bax Music

What is it about guitar amps from the past that makes them so desirable? Could it be the looks? The sound? Or, perhaps it's both. Koch certainly considered both when designing their new classic amplifiers, the Koch Classictone II series! Clearly, they took a look at some iconic tube amps too, as the new series consists of four classic tube amps fitted with EL84 power tubes for a warm sound with awesome overdrive.
