Gallien-Krueger Plex Preamp DI Box for Bass

General

The Gallien Krueger Plex Preamp is like the Swiss Army knife of the preamp realm. Basically, you're looking at the most multifaceted bass-shaping tool that you can get right now, so you're not only treated to the best sound quality that GK has to offer, you're also getting a professional DI box and a just-as-professional audio interface, all neatly wrapped up inside one box that comes pre-fitted with XLR and AUX ports - plus a headphone output. Hook the Plex up to a mixing desk or compatible amplifier via the XLR output and, for those quieter moments at home, simply hook up your headphones and your playback device of choice to jam along in silence. Beyond all of these practical features, the GK Plex hands you ultimate dominance over your bass sound, no matter where you're working.

Primary & Secondary Functions

The bank of eight control pots lined up on the front panel grant access to a detailed four-band equalizer, so you can dial in your basses, your low-mids, high-mids and your trebles. Below that, you'll find your master volume, level, drive and compression controls and, by holding down the compressor footswitch for long enough, you'll activate the on-board chromatic tuner. All eight pots feature an extra secondary function that can be called up by simply pressing the pot in, so you also get control over four timbre modes (Bump, Contour, Presence, Voice and Level), a cabinet emulator for the headphone output, and the distortion type. To finish, the Comp pot can be pushed to double the compression level in one shot.
