 Tube Instrument Preamp / Direct Box Processor 

The new Summit Audio TD-100 instrument preamp and tube direct box from Summit Audio features a hybrid signal path utilizing both a discrete solid state output device and a 12AX7A/ECC83 vacuum tube to give your musical instruments the clarity of class A sound with the richness and warmth of vacuum tubes all in 1/2 rack space. Perfect for both live and studio use, the TD-100 offers both XLR microphone level and TRS line level outputs, plus variable input impedance, polarity switch and ground lift, signal and overdrive LEDs and even a headphone output for use as a practice device. All with the quality that says Summit Audio.
 

Studio and stage
Maintain control of your sound in the most demanding audio environments. Get world class sound in the studio and on the road with the time-tested quality and rugged design of Summit gear.

24dB of gain
Plenty of gain for boosting low output instruments and to drive different levels in a rig for tonal variety, with the stepped pot making it easy for you to instantly recall your ideal settings.

Watch your tone, now...
One of the coolest features of the TD100 is its variable input impedance control, which lets you perfectly match it (or intentionally mismatch it!) to a wide variety of instruments and pickups, giving you the flexibility to actually change the sound of your instruments!
