The TubePre V2 rear panel sports separate unbalanced, ¼-inch instrument and balanced, XLR mic inputs and unbalanced ¼-inch and balanced XLR line outputs. Use it as a straight-up tube preamp or a dynamite direct box (DI) for guitars and basses. It’s housed in a rugged case that’s small enough to carry almost anywhere – or screw-mount it to a standard rack tray.

Highlights & Specs
PreSonus® XMAX Preamps
PreSonus® Class A XMAX solid-state preamps are widely lauded for their clarity, musicality and transparency, with high headroom, wide dynamic range, deep lows, smooth highs and a rich overall sound. XMAX preamps use discrete transistors, resistors, and capacitors for ultra-low noise and transparency — not op-amps that add coloration and harshness.
