## Description

Cool Tube 2 Preamp

Review: Takamine Cool Tube Preamps - This is my third Cool Tube Preamp. I have the original version and two of the CTP-2 s. These preamps warm the signal of the guitar as well as add a bit of resonance to the overall sound. The tuner is wonderful to have, easy to read with two setting; one which allows the guitar to sound as you tune, and one which mutes the guitar signal as you tune. My only complaint is that the volume fader is not as smooth as I would like. It is a bit "jagged" when trying to raise or lower the volume as you are playing. One of my preamps is a little smoother than the other..but both could be improved for a $300.00 preamp.
Review: The sound is amazing!! - Excelete component. The sound is amazing !!

## Features

- The midrange frequency can be cut or boosted with the mid slider. The range of frequency covered by the rotary knob is 200hz to 8.5Khz.
- With this control, the player chooses the depth of effect the tube places on the signal generated by the proven Takamine "Palathetic" pickup.
- And harmonic density with fatter lows and rounder highs; or levels of rewarding richness for finger style players.
- An LED display reveals the note being played and directs the player with illuminated arrows that show sharp and flat.

Very disappointed in the floor noise this pre amp generates---it's of no use to me. I've gone back to the original
