Presonus Tube Pre V2 - **Note: This item has a defect. Used.**

Purchased here and used for 3 years. Recently, the lamp on the VU meter burned out. The meter still moves, so I believe it is functionally sound. There are scuff marks on the top of the unit. Please refer to the 6th image. The power cable is also included. I am looking for buyers who understand that this is a used item.

Compact and affordable, yet built tough enough for serious live performance, the PreSonus® TubePre V2 single-channel professional tube preamp is a great-sounding tool for guitars, basses, microphones, and more. The signal path features a PreSonus renowned XMAX Class A solid-state preamp followed by a 12AX7 vacuum tube stage. Adjusting the Drive saturation control allows you to add anything from subtle warmth to solid crunch and moderate tube distortion to your guitar, bass, or microphone signal.
Dual servo (no capacitors) gain stages allow you to boost your signal without significantly increasing noise. Individual components and high-voltage operation provide dynamic range and detail not found in other single-channel tube preamps in its class. It also features a high-pass filter, phantom power, polarity reverse, and a backlit VU meter.

The TubePre V2's rear panel features unbalanced ¼-inch instrument and balanced XLR microphone inputs, as well as unbalanced ¼-inch and balanced XLR line outputs. It can be used as a straight tube preamp or as a dynamite direct box (DI) for guitar and bass.
