Slide Channel A has a modern clean tone breaking up into rich overtones, ideal for arpeggios and boosting high gain signals. With bass and treble controls (inspired by an all-analog tonestack) placed before the gain stage for responsive tone coloration. 12 volts pedal on the outside
200 volts tube preamp on the inside Switch it to Hot Fusion and you jump channel A into B. In this mode, channel A effectively becomes a boost pedal for B. Both channel's EQs cascade giving you the power and response like no other pedal.  
Mix them together       Two unique channels
with independent voicing and EQ Channel B gives you a full and articulate high gain response, ranging from dynamic and precise rhythms to buttery-smooth compressed lead tones. With a three-band EQ (with sweepable mids) placed after the gain stages for precise tone shaping. Going direct from a pedalboard comes with the drawback of leaving all the tube warmth your amp brings, at home. The preamp section of the amp is critical for fully developing the identity of your sound.

The Two notes Le Lead is a tube pre-amp featuring our trademark True High Voltage design. At its heart is a JJ ECC 83 S preamp tube, running at 200 volts internally, which has been specifically chosen for this pedal.

The dynamics, power, saturation and flexibility you'd expect from a flagship multi-channel tube amp are just there, right on your pedalboard - The ideal preamp for when you want to go direct. Le Lead is the perfect tool to slot in as a tube overdrive in front of, or in the loop of, your favorite amp. HOT FUSION COLD FUSION MIX AND BALANCE CHANNELS A & B JUMPING FROM CHANNEL A TO CHANNEL B Hitting both channels at once will let you run channel A and B in parallel. This is the Cold Fusion mode. In this mode, the Fusion knob lets you balance the output level of both channels for rich, fat, doubled tones.

Frequently asked questions
LE LEAD PREAMP

Everything you need to know about the Preamp pedals. 
There is simply too much to write here about what sets these apart from the others. If you want to go full nerd, you can in this article.

What is “Fusion Mode”?
Fusion mode allows you to stack the two difference channels of the Preamps. You can find more about it in this article.

What’s the difference between Channel A and B?
With two very distinct voicings, it’s like having two very different preamps in one unit. You can find more out about the channels in this article.

Is it 100% analog?
Apart from a couple of internal microcontrollers that are not within the audio path, the Preamps are 100% analog.

Can I change the built-in cab sim? Can I load IRs?
The speaker sim within the Preamps are analog and are hardwired in. There are no Virtual Cabinets or IRs within the unit.
