Tsakalis Audioworks MOTHERSHIP
Real Tube Preamp with Cabinet Simulation and MIDI Control

Tsakalis is proud to release their most ambitious product to date. Seamlessly blending the authentic analogue warmth of real tubes with a highly configurable cabinet simulator, plus flexible outputs and control options, the MOTHERSHIP - Real Tube Preamp stands out as possibly the most highly featured and flexible front end for any guitar rig currently available.

Both channels on the MOTHERSHIP are identical, yet highly configurable. Featuring three gain modes (High, Medium and Low) on each channel, along with a toggle switch for selecting between your three chosen speaker simulations, the MOTHERSHIP can conjure up a multitude of both iconic, familiar and unique tones easily and intuitively. Each channel also features two master gain controls along with two master volumes, allowing four different voices to be instantly recalled, either by pressing the relevant footswitch or via MIDI command.

Demonstrating its prowess as a fully comprehensive plug and play device, the MOTHERSHIP also features over 70 free custom cabinet simulations to choose from (when connected to Tsakalis’ own TAW Editor app via USB), separate dedicated simultaneous outputs for both the cabinet simulator and a “dry” output for your amp of choice, MIDI control of channel and A/B selection and also a serial mono FX loop for added tonal versatility.

The MOTHERSHIP is a complete solution for authentic vintage and modern genuine tube amp tones, in a user-friendly and lightweight, yet rugged package that is designed to slot in easily into any setup.

Main Features:
• Dual Channel Tube Preamp with Overdrive
• 2 ECC83s (12AX7) preamp tubes run at 240 V internally - for incredible headroom and genuine tube-amp feel and dynamics
• 2 independent channels capable of producing everything from sparkling cleans to tight heavy distorted tones
• 2 individual Gain/Volume sections for each channel selectable via a dedicated footswitch - 4 tones on tap at any time
• Individual 4-band EQ per channel (Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence)
• 3 gain stages per channel selectable via the MODE toggle switch
• 3 user-selectable cabinet simulations per channel selectable via the CAB toggle switch
• Serial effects loop - active even when in bypass mode - for looping in e.g. time-based effects between preamp and Cab Sim
• Dedicated TRS cabinet simulation output with ground lift - active even when in bypass mode
• Dedicated output for connecting to the front of an amp or a power amp, selectable by toggle switch
• Full MIDI compatibility - 128 user-customizable and programmable MIDI presets
• USB port for uploading Cab Sims to the six slots (three per channel) - choose from the free Tsakalis Audioworks online library of 70+ selected high-quality cab simulations
• Multifunction Latching or Momentary function footswitches
• Integrated input buffer - only active when in bypass mode
• Handmade in Athens, Greece
• Powered by (included) 12 V DC power adapter (2,1 mm, center -, 700 mA current draw)

FULLY FEATURED ALL-ANALOG REAL TUBE PREAMP DESIGN
The MOTHERSHIP represents the perfect “amp-in-a-box” pedal, seamlessly blending a beautifully designed, real tube front end with a highly flexible cabinet modelling solution. However, it also shines as a genuine tube overdrive pedal when connected to the front of your amplifier, or when running it as the tone-defining preamp section of your setup, directly into your power amp. It can also do both of these things simultaneously.

QUAD CHANNEL TUBE PREAMP AND DRIVE
This preamp pedal has two completely independent channels, each featuring a four-band EQ, two different Gain/Volume sections, three selectable gain-stages and three selectable cabinet simulations, plus a serial mono effects-loop for your external effects, MIDI in and free access to Tsakalis Audioworks’ full free online library of carefully selected and curated digital cabinet simulations.

The MOTHERSHIP’s two independent channels were carefully designed with a real tube audio path, providing a huge range of tones from warm or sparkling cleans all the way to high gain tube driven distortion. The two ECC83 (12AX7) tubes, run at a comfortable 240 Volts, providing touch sensitivity, headroom and plenty of gain and tube sag as required.

Each channel features a four band EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble and Presence) and two different Gain and Volume controls (Gain A-Volume A / Gain B-Volume B) transforming the MOTHERSHIP into a quad channel powerhouse.

The dedicated MODE switch for each channel is responsible for the tube audio path structure, giving 3 different gain modes L = Low, M = Mid and H = High, allowing you to easily customize completely different lead and rhythm tones with different gain structures as well as a solo volume boost for each and access them on-the-fly by simply pressing the relevant footswitch.

SUPREME DIGITAL CABINET SIMULATION
Each channel’s dedicated CAB switch provides 3 different user-definable cabinet simulations. Select from the wide range of curated, free and most importantly supreme-quality cabinet simulations available in the online Tsakalis AudioWorks library and upload them to the MOTHERSHIP via USB using the TAW Editor app (available for PC, Mac and Linux).

STATE-OF-THE-ART CONTROL AND CONNECTIVITY
All three of the MOTHERSHIP’s footswitches can be used in latching or momentary mode, simply by either tapping or holding them down longer. Latching mode works with a normal press of the switch (shorter than 600ms), while Momentary mode is engaged by simply holding down the footswitch for the longer period of time required.

But that’s not all! The MOTHERSHIP is also capable of being controlled via MIDI program change messages using its dedicated MIDI Input. With 128 presets at your disposal, along with an intuitive and simple method for saving and recalling them, the MOTHERSHIP is set to become an indispensable centrepiece for the modern guitar setup.

Tsakalis AudioWorks

Our daily endeavor is to bring the sound that lives in our head to life.

For us, building pedals means to inspire musicians who inspire us.

It feels like yesterday when founder Chris Tsakalis was looking for feedback on his new custom built – tube driven overdrive, from players who he repaired gear for in Athens. That first attempt, that grew up to become the “Gravity Spot”, was the spark needed to gather the attention of the local musical society.

A few years later, and with a wide range of effects to share with the world, came our first international trade show in Frankfurt followed by the NAMM show.

We believe in the process of hand building and we plan to keep it that way. We believe in simple and easy to use pedals which provide the player with many different options without getting in his/her way. We believe in quality components. We believe in research. We believe in interaction. We believe in music.

This is not a job for us nor will it ever be. We live and breathe tone.
