Arkham Oracle Tube Bass Preamplifier/DI

Introducing a brand new version of the Oracle - a single channel, vacuum tube pre-amplifier inspired by the iconic Portaflex Bass amps of the 1960's. The buffered 1/4" output provides ample gain to feed a modern power amp or the line input of your recording interface. For use as an effect pedal, simply turn down the Master control (all knobs at noon is unity gain). The DI output features a high quality output transformer, with Mu Metal shielding for ultra quiet operation.

The heart of the Oracle is a single 12AX7 tube, selected for low noise and good tone, and fed by a 300VDC power supply.
