Ibanez PTPRE Pentatone Preamp

The Pentatone preamp by Ibanez

Provides a comprehensive set of features that can be easily controlled through an all-analog platform. With the ability to shape tones with precision, dynamic distortion arrays, and advanced EQ controls, this preamp integrates five distinct tone-shaping sections, including pre-boost, distortion with two-band EQ, noise gate, 5-band parametric EQ, and post-boost. The preamp also includes a bright switch that effectively boosts the high-frequency range, resulting in exceptional treble response.

Extraordinary tone shaping control, dynamic arrays of distortion, and exceptional amounts of EQ are all laid out at your feet. The Pentatone preamp from Ibanez affords the perfect blend of features all wrapped up in an intuitive, all-analog platform. This preamp brings together five individual tone shaping sections in the form of a pre-boost, distortion with two-band EQ, a noise gate, 5-band parametric EQ, and post-boost. The pedal also includes a bright switch, which enhances treble response by boosting the high-frequency range.

The two integrated footswitches control the preamp bypass and post-boost functions while adding an Ibanez IFS2L external foot-switch enhances the player’s control even further by also making the pre-boost and 5-band parametric EQ foot-switchable. From simple tone shaping to crunchy overdrive and even the most crushing distortion, the Pentatone preamp covers it all.
