The Ampworx series from TC Electronic offers authentic simulations of iconic amp sounds and the V550 preamp pedal promises the classic sound of guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen. Thanks to the Celestion speaker simulation and two channels with controls for level, gain and reso, the small pedal with two footswitches is an absolute high-gain monster. Despite the versatile sound possibilities, the pedal's user interface has been kept as straightforward as possible and is limited to the essentials in terms of function and operation, so that the focus is on the powerful Eighties sound.
