Can Tsakalis AudioWorks’ MultiCab MKIII pedal deliver tube tone without the amp?
Preamp and cab sim pedal boasts eight virtual guitar cabs, natural room ambience, a variety of preamps, power amps, mics and more
Tsakalis AudioWorks has released the MultiCab MKIII, an “easy plug ‘n’ play” preamp and cab simulator guitar pedal.
The versatile analog/digital stompbox boasts eight virtual guitar amp cabinets and natural room ambience (the digital part) combined with an analog path responsible for pre-amp type, power-amp voicing, cabinet back type and microphone type controls.
The MKIII can go direct to a PA, be used as a DI between an amp and cab or paired with a dummy load for silent play-along practice with headphones.
As for those eight virtual cabs, Tsakalis touts them “heavily inspired on some legendary and iconic guitar amps and cabinets.”
