General

The French technicians, Two Notes, first cut their teeth developing high-end studio equipment and have now turned their potent attention towards the stage. As part of a range of stage-ready preamps, The 'Le Crunch' comes stuffed with the cream-filled sound of the British Plexi-amps that defined the '60s. Channel 1 gives you a renowned and comfortably woolly Plexi clean that can be pushed over into British-style overdrive. Channel 2, meanwhile, shapes the sound that founded the hardrock and heavy metal of the '70s and '80s.

Le Crunch: Two Channels with Cold/Hot Fusion

You probably already noticed, but Le Crunch is more than just a two-channel preamp. Both channels have been equipped with independent tone controls that can also be combined (or Fused) in two ways. Using Cold Fusion, the channels are placed in parallel and the balance between the two channels can be adjusted. In Hot Fusion, the channels are switched to series where channel A functions as a kind of a boost for channel B.

The FLP318SBLH: Solid Construction

The stage-friendly preamps from Two Tone all offer extensive routing options, making them just as effective during gigs as they are during studio sessions. Each pedal has also been graced with a True Bypass circuit and unbalanced in and outputs as well as a balanced output that can be hooked up for direct recordings while you monitor your performance using the headphone output. A Post EQ FX loop is also provided alongside a MIDI in/out that opens up more unexpected functions like using this pedal as a MIDI controller.

Two Notes Le Crunch Dual Channel Tube Preamp
Wrote the following about Two Notes Le Crunch Dual Channel Tube Preamp
Het idee van dit apparaat is top. Het idee dat je nooit meer je versterker hoeft mee te nemen naar een optreden is echt een bevrijding voor mij en voor de geluidsman. Alleen vergeleken met de Le Clean van Two Notes vind ik hem niet best klinken. De Le Clean komt wat mij betreft echt wel in de buurt van een beetje een goede versterker. De Le Crunch klinkt echt als een goedkope transistor. Dus 4 sterren voor het gebruiksgemak en 2 sterren voor het geluid.

Après un petit problème technique (le circuit imprimé avait du jeu dans la pédale, problème vite réglé après avoir contacté l'équipe de two notes....) , cette pédale/ préampli est un vrai bonheur, que ce soit sur un ampli ou une sono (bose l1 ) : les sons sont vraiment à la hauteur de ce que j'en attendais, et la connectique est super, avec la boucle intégrée et une sortie output qui me permet d'envoyer le signal brut de la guitare vers un digitech vocalist pour les harmonies du chant ...
Pas de regret sur ce super achat !!
