The new Chameleon 2000 is Rocktron’s most affordable DSP
preamp to date. Featuring the latest technology in Digital Tube Replication (DTR) for
incredibly convincing tube amp simulations. The preamp section is contrived of four
distinct channels labeled Clean, Texas, British, and Mega offer some of the most
sought-after guitar amp sounds ever available. Each channel was carefully constructed
using real Tube Amp DNA from some of the most popular amplifiers in history.
Channel 1 – Clean – features sound of very early
“Tweed-Style” amps with a big round bottom end
Channel 2 – Texas – features sounds of that tweed amps on ten
and then some
Channel 3 – British – features very popular “Plexi”
style rhythm tones with just enough gain and sparkle
Channel 4 – Mega – the name says is all. Gain, and tons of it.
Plenty of sustain, crunch, and overall girth and penetrating sonic momentum
A unique control for Variac simulation actually simulates an
amplifier plugged into a Variac to lower the voltage. This is an old trick used to get
tube amps to sound great at low volumes. Unfortunately, as well as this worked in the
world of tubes, it was also detrimental to the life of the amp. The Rocktron Variac
control is a safe way to get that same effect.
If things get a bit noisy due to mass amounts of gain, we
also included the our latest technology in HUSH noise reduction which eliminates the noise
without eliminating your sustain of defacing you precious tone.
The effects section was definitely designed with the guitar
player in mind. The Chameleon 2000’s effects include great “stomp box” style
effects such as Phasers, Flangers, Delay, Reverb, Tremolo, Pitch Shift, Compressor, Wah
and many more.
As well as becoming the heart of any live rig, the Chameleon
2000 makes an excellent studio companion with programmable Speaker Simulator. The built-in
Speaker Simulator features parameters for Speaker Size, MIC Position, and Reactance for
achieving the ultimate guitar tones straight to tape
