The Studio V3 offers all of the features of the original Tube MP with versatile onboard presets to easily dial in a great tone.

V3 stands for Variable Valve Voicing, and refers to the sixteen presets in three overlapping groups: Neutral, Warm, and OPL. Each has a precisely voiced EQ curve, Warm presets add tube saturation, and OPL presets engage Output Protection Limiting for dynamic control of loud signals and big transients.

Each preset has a suggested application, but they all have a unique character, so any could be an inspiring match for your performance. Theres also a Flat preset for the classic sound of the original Tube MP.

Like the original, the Tube MP Studio V3 has XLR and 1/4 connections with variable gain and switchable boost, phantom power, and phase reversal.

Fast and flexible, the Tube MP Studio V3 is a mic preamp and instrument DI designed for maximum tone with minimum tweaking.

Mesa Boogie's SPAX7's are a premium grade substitute for the standard 12AX7 - They are a "Special Requirement Preamp Tube" that possess an even higher standard of overall performance than other high-quality 12AX7's due to their incredibly low sensitivity to microphonic noise.  This is the ultimate preamp tube to use in all critical gain stage positions - The absolute best of the best! 

Thanks for looking and ROCK ON!
