Just like the full-fledged amp, the Mother preamp is our modern take on the vintage high-wattage sounds of the early 70’s with added tonal range, control, and a voice all its own. The Mother preamp is designed to work equally well on your pedal board and into the front of your favorite amp, into a power amp, and recording interface\/DAW (in conjunction with speaker emulation\/IRs). The result is a wide-ranging utilitarian dual channel preamp that can add dimension and versatility to your rig with an eerily convincing Science signature tube tone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurate tonal recreation of the dual channel\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scienceamps.com\/mother.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMother MkIII amplifier\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll analog FET signal path for tube-like response and tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to accommodate both guitar and bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo footswitchable channels with independent\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoudness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econtrols\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShared\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreble\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiddle\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEQ section \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econtrol to tailor front end bass response and feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAbsence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003econtrol to smooth or emphasize harmonic content \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctly voiced dual outputs for use into the front of a guitar or bass amp, directly into a power amp\/effects return, or recording interface (when used in conjunction with speaker emulation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal footswitch jack for remote channel switching (external switch sold separately)etails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalog FET tube emulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Mother’s all tube signal path has been meticulously replicated in the Mother preamp using carefully selected field effects transistors (FETs) to accurately mimic the tone and response of tubes running at high voltage.
