For generations, one of the keys to the classic recorded sound was a tube in the signal path. And we still use tubes today. Why? Because the impart a little magic onto everything that passes through it. But that magic often doesn't come cheap. Luckily, the ART Tube MP is brimming over with tube tone — and it's priced so everyone can have one! With both instrument and microphone I/O, the Tube MP is great for project studios as both a DI and a microphone preamp. On the live stage, the Tube MP injects a bit of tube soul into the signal, letting your instrument really shine on stage. Classic tube sound at a great price.
