DC30 PREAMP
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the DC30 PREAMP pedal. In this unit you will find a true-to-life digital
simulation of a 1965 VOX AC30 Top Boost* tube amplifier, created using TC Electronics unique AMPWORX
modeling technology. Every detail of the original tube amp has been lovingly re-created in painstaking
detail by the TC tone technicians, right down to every last component in the circuit. Bringing you the best
digital amp modeling experience available.
*VOX AC30 and VOX AC30 Top Boost are trademarks or registered trademarks of VOX Amplification Ltd.
Celestion CAB SIM
To provide you with a DI-ready pedalboard setup solution for connection to PA systems, recording interfaces
and headphones, we've partnered up with the best in the business and supplied you with an official
Celestion Digital impulse response of a 2x12 Celestion Alnico Blue combo, so it's ready to roll right out of the
box via dedicated DI and Headphone outputs.
Custom MODS
What would a beautiful vintage tube amp be without a couple of hand-crafted boutique mods? We've added
some optional modifications, so you can tailor the pedal to your liking
• BOOST – DC30 comes fully armed with a booster that can be engaged and disengaged via the BOOST
footswitch. On the back panel of the pedal you will find a PRE/POST toggle switch which will let you select
what kind of booster you want.
1. PRE – In PRE your booster will act like a vintage overdrive pedal stacked in front of your amp model,
providing more gain and a distinct mid hump. Perfect for solos and pushing the amp model, adding
more drive.
2. POST – In POST your booster will be a completely clean volume boost with no change to the tone or feel
of the amp model, it just gets louder.
• BOOST GAIN – On the back panel of the pedal you will find a 'set it and forget it' global control knob to
tailor how much gain the booster has.
