PreSonus BlueTube DP V2 2-ch Dual-Path Preamp

The BlueTube DP V2 dual-path mic/instrument preamplifier puts two distinct sonic personalities at your fingertips in one compact, tour-ready unit. This versatile preamp features two independent channels, each equipped with PreSonus’s acclaimed XMAX Class A solid-state preamp followed by a hand-selected 12AX7 vacuum-tube stage. The innovative Tube Drive control lets you switch between crystal-clear solid-state transparency and the warm, rich character of tube saturation – from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion.

Built for serious musicians who demand flexibility, the BlueTube DP V2 excels as both a premium preamp and direct box for guitars and basses. Singer-songwriters will appreciate running vocals through one channel whilst simultaneously processing their guitar through the other, feeding both directly to the PA system without needing a guitar amplifier. The rugged half-rackspace chassis houses combo mic/instrument inputs, balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼” line outputs, plus essential features including 80 Hz highpass filtering, phantom power, -20 dB pad, polarity reverse, and a backlit VU metre.

From studio recording to live performance, this dual-path preamp offers unmatched tonal versatility in its price range. Use one channel for pristine solid-state amplification whilst the other adds tube character, or engage both tube stages for maximum sonic flexibility. Compact enough for your gig bag yet robust enough for professional touring, the BlueTube DP V2 stands as the most comprehensive mic/instrument preamplifier available to today’s working musicians.
