In my last video for this invaluable device, which you can view at https://youtu.be/c-hriZEkXlk, I didn't really show it cranked, flat out. So the guys at Shift-Line requested I do so, with the help of a Jazzmaster. So here it is!
The Twin MKII is a preamp designed to sound and react like a '65 Twin's Normal Channel. I have to say that it achieves its gaol exceedingly well in an interface wrapper that is just as simple to use as the real thing. A Tung-Sol 12AX7 running at high voltage is the MKII's engine. Three band EQ, Master Volume, Gain, Send/Return FX Loop, Input, Output and Record Out with switchable Cab Sim are all the features you will probably ever need. But there's more! The Phones and Aux jacks allow quiet or personal playing and the Cab Sim always stays on phones output regardless of the toggle switch position for easy monitoring. Couple all of this with the Twin MKII's extraordinary build quality, ease of use and stellar sound and, folks, we have a winner.
