Le Lead
Dual-channel tube hi-gain preamp with 200V, Fusion modes, DI/effects loop/MIDI—Wall of Sound III included, $299.
The Le Lead delivers modern high-gain tube preamp tones running at 200 volts internally, addressing metal and hard rock players requiring extreme saturation with tube warmth and touch sensitivity. Channel A ranges from clean to touch-responsive crunch with Bass/Treble EQ, Channel B adds substantial gain for tight low-end and searing distortion with Bass, sweepable Mid, and Treble controls. Dual independent channels enable rhythm and lead tones via footswitches without requiring amplifier channel switching or manual knob adjustments between songs.
Fusion modes provide advanced channel interaction: Cold Fusion runs channels in parallel blending clean/distorted characteristics for complex textures, Hot Fusion cascades channels using A as boost for B creating boosted lead sound with extreme saturation and compression. Integrated cabinet simulation based on Two Notes Torpedo technology affects DI and headphone outputs eliminating need for microphones and speaker cabinets. Effects loop allows inserting modulation or delay after preamp distortion maintaining clarity and definition, DI output connects directly to PA systems or recording interfaces, headphone output enables silent practice maintaining full preamp character, MIDI in/out provides preset recall via external controllers, Thru jack sends unaffected signal to stage amplifier.
Includes free download of Two Notes Wall of Sound III speaker-cabinet simulation software expanding beyond integrated analog speaker simulation. MSRP $299. The Le Lead targets metal and hard rock players seeking modern high-gain tube preamp character without heavy amplifiers, suitable for progressive metal, thrash, and djent where tight low-end response and searing lead saturation drive the musical intensity but compact format and DI capability enhance practical workflow for fly-rig touring or direct recording scenarios.
