ISP Technologies Empyrean Michael Sweet Signature Preamp Effects Pedal

The EMPYREAN PREAMP PEDAL brings you Michael’s new tone machine with dual preamplifiers with Distortion providing subtle crunch to over-the-top gain and a killer tone Clean channel. Both preamps include Gain, Bass, semi-parametric Swept Midrange from 300 to 3KHz and Treble. Also on board is the newest generation, patented, Decimator X, Noise reduction technology, G String version which tracks the direct Guitar input for dead quiet high gain performance. For those who want even more gain you can switch on the Clean Channel to over-drive the Distortion channel for more than 160db of distortion gain. Michael also included foot switchable and adjustable Volume Boost for that extra volume needed for solos and an effects loop to add your favorite effects. Plus, he included additional tone shaping in the Distortion channel with a switchable high pass at 300Hz to tighten up that bottom end and a switchable low-pass 3KHz second order filter to help focus the top end in his quest for perfection. The EMPYREAN is powered with an external 9VAC power supply which is internally multiplied to provide +/- 15 volt power supply rails. This provides true professional headroom allowing you the use the full capabilities of the Pro Studio quality equalization. The ultimate front end to any guitar rig.
