MX Trace Elliot GP12SMX Preamp

Signal chain: IK Multimdia Axe IO (Audiointerface and Reamp-Box) - GP12SMX Preamp LIne Output. This Preamp has a solide state and a valve input stage, which can also be blended. The input can also be switched between passive and active mode. The amp has a 12 band grand equalizer and two preshape EQ settings. Preshape 1 is the Trace Elliot "signature" sound (with the disadvantage that it hides you in the mix of a full band) and preshape 2 typically for Rock sounds. For both input stages there are 3 captures with active input setting, one without EQ, and then preshape 1 and 2. For the tube input there are these 3 EQ shapes with passive mode activated, these captures are slightly overdriven/crunchy.
