Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Gainiac 2 tube preamp!

The name itself indicates a product that provides the most intense distortion

and power that the modern guitar player requires to perform to the fullest

extent.

With over 100dB of outrageous gain, this tube preamp has two channels with

the most intense distortion and power that you need to perform at full

throttle! Equipped with Rocktron's unique "Scoop" control, the Gainiac lets

you go from the classic sounds of the 60's and 70's all the way to the raging

atomic sound of modern metal.

The Gainiac 2 is our latest version of this world famous tube preamp. Now

with a more modern sound, and an extra control for the clean channel (sepa-

rate master volume). And BONUS - more headroom so you get even more

gain than ever before!!

Featuring the most effective EQ section ever devised, the Gainiac 2 allows

over 30dB cut, or "scooping" of the midrange used with the bass (Bottom

control) and treble (Top control) as needed by your cabinet. Guitar tones

just can't get any heavier. ( In the Gainiac 2, Rocktron has improved the mid

scoop on the distortion!) Back off the Scoop control and your sound rolls

up into a much fatter, rounder sound. The Gainiac 2 adds three band EQ to

the clean sound as well and the clean sound now runs through the tube for

more warmth!

Join the legion of Gainiac maniacs and increase the pallete of tones you're

stuck with in that combo amp of yours by adding the Gainiac 2 to your

setup. The Gainiac is easy to hook up and use.
