INTRODUCTION

Introducing the next generation of the Legend Amp series of pedals — the LA2 line.

Guaranteed to be the most versatile distortion pedals on the market, offering huge tube-style saturated tone in the styles of all of your favorite high-gain modern and classic amp heads.

The LA2 pedals will accompany the original series, as an enhanced, upgraded «PRO» version.

► ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The AMT C2 preamp is able to emulate the unique sound of Engl's* third cousin Cornford* characterized by clear tone, diversity, and minimalism. The C2 drive channel provides wide overdrive range from slight crunch to biting high gain.

Two-channel LA2 series preamp effects are designed to produce clean and overdriven guitar sound within a variety of guitar channel organization. The basic concept of the series is «your own sound in your pocket».

The LA2 incorporates original circuit designs developed by the specialists of AMT, which allow obtaining bright and rich sound in the style of the original tube overdrives using low-voltage (9-12V) power and low current consumption.

► ALL THREE OUTPUTS — AT THE SAME TIME!

The distinctive feature of the series is the presence of three outputs intended for implementation of basic types of channels organization:

  • direct connection to guitar system power amp;
  • connection to «clean» channel of a guitar combo or amp;
  • direct connection to a mixer (CAB SIM OUT).

All three of these outputs can be used simultaneously! Use the different outputs for recording direct and mixing at the same time, run different effects through different outputs, or record three DAW tracks all at once.

The routing and recording options are endless. The Legend 2 series of pedals are a studio engineer's dream come true!

► TWO CHANNEL PREAMP AND DISTORTION PEDAL

When the LA2 pedal is connected to the amp or a mixer, it acts as a two-channel preamp, providing a switch between clean and overdriven channels by means of a footswitch. CLEAN channel is universal for all models of the series and sounds in the style of classic Fender* amps.

When using the LA2 in effect mode (as a regular drive/distortion pedal), the CLEAN channel of an external amplifier or a combo is used. Please be aware that the used combo or amplifier largely determines the resulting sound.

When in effect mode, the LA2 pedal uses «partial» active bypass, which reduces the need to minimize the length of used cables and retains the original sound of the instrument when the effect is off.

 IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE POWER SUPPLY 

For powering the AMT devices always use specialized power supplies originally designed for guitar pedals & gear meeting the following basic requirements:

Please, don't try to use for these purposes the usual cheapest power supply from household appliances and electronics, like from your laptop, Wi-Fi router, etc.! Such power supplies have a reverse polarity compared to AMT devices, so it won't work! Even if you're «the guy was born with a soldering iron in the hand» and almost ready to change a polarity of such power supply — we strongly not recommend you do that!

Those kinds of power supplies are not intended for using with the guitar gear. Otherwise, you'll get a problematic very noisy guitar sound full of «hum», «cheep», and other sound «effects»!
