A preamp pedal that nails coveted high-gain tube tone.
The TC Electronic Ampworx V550 preamp pedal brings you the sound of a legendary high-gain tube amp in a compact, pedalboard-friendly stompbox. With the TC AMPWORX modeling technology, the V550 accurately captures the entire tone profile of the iconic 5150 Mk1 amplifier. The foundation is a detailed recreation of the original amp's gain structure, EQ and power amp sag - the elements that create its famously aggressive crunch. The V550 gives you independent controls for the clean and lead channels, allowing you to shape your tone for chords, leads or anything in between. And with the integrated cab simulator, you can plug straight into a PA system and get authentic tube amp tone, without needing a physical guitar cabinet.
Dial In Your Tone With Independent Channel and Boost Controls
The V550's dual-channel design provides independent gain, volume, bass, mid and treble controls for the clean and lead channels. This lets you set your rhythm sound and lead boost as different presets for quick switching. The lead channel also includes a pre-gain boost control that kicks your tone into overdrive. And the global presence knob fine-tunes the high-end bite. Whether you need glassy cleans, mid-heavy crunch or saturated leads, the V550 puts the tone-shaping tools at your fingertips.
Get Genuine Amp Tone With Integrated Cab Simulator
Thanks to the built-in Impulse Response-based cab simulator, the V550 delivers true-to-life tube amp tone direct to a PA system, audio interface or headphones. No need for extra amp-and-cab sim pedals. The cab sim features a modeled 4x12 cab loaded with Celestion G12M Heritage speakers, capturing the fullness and punch you'd get from a real guitar cab. Use the cab blend knob to dial in just the right amount of speaker modeling for your setup. The V550 also provides balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs for connecting to any live or recording rig.
Stompbox and Dual-Channel Modes For Maximum Flexibility
The V550 offers two different operation modes to suit your needs. Stompbox mode gives it classic pedal functionality - switch the whole pedal on/off for boosting solos or kicking in distortion. Dual Channel mode keeps the pedal always active, letting you switch between clean and lead channels at will. Choose the mode that fits your playing style and gig needs. But whichever you pick, the V550 serves up iconic high-gain tone and responsiveness in a compact, gig-ready pedal.
Intuitive Controls Let You Perfect Your Sound
With its streamlined interface focused on tone shaping, the V550 makes it easy to create your ideal sound. The logical control layout provides quick access to every parameter, without overwhelming you with options. Tweak channel volumes, EQs and gain structures to craft everything from sparkling cleans to saturated leads. Add in the global presence control, integrated cab sim and boost switch for even more tonal possibilities. The V550 simplifies high-gain tone, letting you concentrate on your playing, not your pedalboard.
