he Two Notes Le Clean takes its inspiration from the classic amps of southern California in all shades of brown, black and silver.
Channel A has a pure ultra clean texture. Channel B lets you bring in classic sweet overdrive of a dark desert highway. The Cold Fusion mode gets right to the heart of Texas while Hot Fusion takes you out of the blue and into the gnarliest Tweed tones.

The story
From the moment they launched the Torpedo C.A.B., Two Notes believed it was possible to build a high quality pedalboard to entirely replace a conventional tube amplifier system - the complete floor rig. Even with an almost limitless choice of available guitar effects, they always felt that finding a very good preamplifier in a pedal format was challenging. 

The concept
The selection of a preamplifier is the core of your overall tone and thus requires the greatest attention. When building a complete floor rig, only the very best will make the cut. The Two Notes preamplifiers are a True High Voltage Design running internally at 200 volts to preserve the interaction between you and your guitar while working perfectly with your other effect pedals. Each of the four different versions deliver the unique tube warmth, dynamics, and the musical compression from the amps we know and love, now in a more convenient pedal package. And, of course, you can use them as an elaborate tube overdrive, in front of your favorite amplifier!

Two channels plus Fusion mode
The A and B channels are totally independent, each with their own voicing and eq section: Bass and Treble on A, Bass, Mid with Mid Sweep and Treble for B. On Channel A you will find a lower gain tube stage with a pre-gain EQ using a more vintage design approach, while Channel B offers more gain and a very powerful post-EQ (with mid sweep). The exclusive Fusion modes open new horizons.

Cold Fusion
In "Cold Fusion", the two channels are in parallel, meaning you can blend the cleaner sound from A and your more distorted sound in B to gain clarity and articulation.

Hot Fusion
In "Hot Fusion", A and B are cascaded, meaning A can be used as a boost for B with both A and B EQ's available to shape the result.

Switching and Multi-channel mode
The Le Clean features 2 channel footswitches, A and B. Simultaneously pressing A and B will activate the Fusion mode. Pressing A, B or A, and B will also send a specific MIDI Program Change command, that can be used to select a preset on your MIDI multi-effects and/or Torpedo C.A.B.. In addition, the preamplifier can respond to a Program Change sent from another MIDI device allowing a seamless integration into any pedalboard switching system. 

Combining several Two Notes preamps on your pedalboard makes things really interesting. Connected via MIDI, each preamp will listen to the others. They can be configured in Multi-channel mode: pressing A on preamp 1 will by- pass preamp 2, like the channels of an amplifier. Alternately, when this mode is off: traditional on/off switching for all preamps, a preamp can be a boost/overdrive for the one that follows.
