Warm Audio TB12 Tone Beast

Warm Audio TB12 Tone Beast Microphone Preamp Unleash the beast! The TB12 Tone Beast is a fully professional preamp with many advantages that meet all the needs of a sound engineer. This preamp is full of options and tones; it is as versatile and reliable as a Swiss Army knife. Thanks to top-notch CineMag transformers and several discrete signal paths, it is difficult to fully appreciate the all-encompassing, bold, fully professional sound of the Tone Beast at such a good price. The Tone Beast is a microphone preamp that adds special colors to your sound when switched on. Two operational amplifiers and two output transformers on toggle switches may not seem very different, but because one preamp adds drive to the harmonics, the unique character of each of these components becomes obvious in the mix. The Tone Beast is adjustable and allows users to create and change their own operational amplifiers. Warm Audio has put its best tones into this unique unit, yet it works up to maximum clipping and delivers great sound. The output control on the TB12 allows you to limit the signal coming out of the preamp, even when pushing the gain to really high levels, giving you maximum control. Tone shaping of a microphone preamp with a DI box made affordable! When developing the TB12 Tone Beast, Warm Audio's goal was to make a microphone preamp affordable without compromising on the quality and design parameters that make this type of microphone preamp so desirable. Premium components in every Warm Audio product The Warm Audio TB12 "Tone Beast" is a fully discrete, high-voltage microphone preamp using CineMag USA Transformers. Do not be afraid to hurt the beast! You can overload it as much as you want, and it can be revealed and be quite pleasant on an electric guitar, bass, or any other instrument. When Warm Audio studied handmade microphone preamps, some "subtle" differences were summarized, which were later used in the development of Warm Audio preamps. Thus, one of these subtleties concerns the final mix of a composition; we all know that it is difficult to set up "what is needed" from the first time, but it is not always very noticeable. The different parameters in the TB12 are subtle, but when saturated, they are noticeable and can make a big difference in how your final mix will sound. Home musicians and professional studios will find the Tone Beast an extremely powerful and fully professional tool that is capable of warming and shaping signals/mixes in a way that is very pleasing to the ear.
