Manufacturer's description

With 4 programmable channels, a full set of tone controls, motorised knobs and gorgeous tube-driven

tone, SpinDoctor is a wonder of sonic craftsmanship and engineering.Stunning features, brilliant

designSpinDoctor delivers all the beautiful, saturated sound you’ve come to expect from T-Rex. But

it’s also a triumph of design – packing a stunning array of features into a set of controls so intuitive

and easy to use, you’ll have to try to believe it. Here’s what you get:4 channels of T-Rex tone. For

each channel, you set the gain, tone and output exactly how you want it. Switching between

channels and making adjustments on the fly is simple, fast and intuitive.Tone controls let you tune

your tone (bass, mid, treble and presence) for each individual channel. When you switch channels, all

your settings change too – giving you the perfect depth, sustain and edge no matter how much gain

you apply.Motorised knobs move when you switch channels – like faders on a state-of-the-art studio

mixing board. They’re way cool, but they also provide mission-critical visual cues that let you monitor

your settings at a glance – and adjust them in milliseconds.Tube drive gives you the entire spectrum

of analogue gain in a single knob. Turn it down low for a clean tube sound with just a bit of edge. Turn

it up to lay on the gain. And if you want even more – hit the boost button and blast off into the

stratosphere of world-class overdrive.An intelligent distortion pedalPlug SpinDoctor into your stage

amp, and you’ve got nothing less than the best distortion pedal on the planet. You’ll enhance your

amp with 4 custom channels of analogue overdrive – each with its own settings for gain, bass, mid,

treble, presence and output. And you can bypass your SpinDoctor from any channel for a clean

sound straight from your amp.A complete preamp for your guitarYou can also use SpinDoctor as a

complete guitar preamp, plugging it directly into a power amp via the output jack. In the studio, use

the speaker-simulation output to plug into a studio mixer or AD converter connected to your

computer. Special level and frequency knobs let you set the volume and define the character of your

“cabinet”. And finally, SpinDoctor’s intuitive MIDI implementation lets you create and store additional

channels via an external MIDI device.Take it for a spinAt T-Rex Engineering, we’re convinced that

SpinDoctor is simply the best product we’ve ever built. Take it for a spin – and you’ll understand why

it’s the one pedal you can’t live without.
