Hotone announce two new Preamp pedals
“A Station” is a multi-purpose DI and mic-pre, and “B Station” is DI and preamp for bass guitars.
Hotone has become synonymous with miniaturising effects pedals for electric guitar. However, the Performance Series is aimed at acoustic musicians who need a practical preamp to take on the stage or to the studio. They come in pedal form and the range consists of two new models: “A Station” is a multi purpose DI and mic-pre, and “B Station” is DI and preamp for Bass Guitars.
Hotone A Station
A Station is for the acoustic guitarist (or any acoustic musician) who needs to boost their instrument or microphone signal for live set-ups. It has an XLR microphone input and ¼ inch jack DI for instruments, it also has a three band EQ onboard as well as a notch filter for eliminating feedback. There’s an effects loop and mute switch for cutting the signal (for tuning on-stage).
- Compact size, rock solid aluminum casing
- Powerful 3-band EQ for enhancing and shaping your instrument tone
- Notch filter with frequency control for eliminating unwanted feedback
- Pristine DI output for feeding the signal directly to the mixer or for recording
- 1/4” parallel output for connecting acoustic amps or other gear
- High quality microphone preamp with phantom power
- Switchable FX Loop for extended instrument and vocal dimension
- Mute function for silent tuning and safe connection
- Boost function for stand out solos or boosting weak instrument signals
- 9V DC or 9V battery power supply
Hotone B Station
B Station is designed for Bass Guitar. It has a preamp and DI so you can connect the Bass directly to a mixer or PA system, but it also carries a three band EQ, a drive unit and a single control compressor so you can smooth out and fatten up your tone before your signal leaves the stage.
- Compact size, rock solid aluminum casing
- Powerful 3-band EQ with pre/post selection for enhancing and shaping your bass tone
- DRIVE channel with a wide tonal range from slight overdrive to mass distortion
- Carefully designed, set-to-forget optical compressor onboard
- BLEND knob for combining driven signal and direct signal
- Pristine DI output for feeding the signal directly to the mixer or for recording
- FX Loop for extended bass effects
- Different outputs (XLR out, 1/4” output, 1/4” parallel output) to run through bass amps, audio interfaces, mixers, and other gear
- PHONES jack for silent practice
- Ground lift function for eliminating ground-related noise
- 9V DC or 9V battery power supply
