Here’s what Tsakalis Audioworks say about the Tsakalis AudioWorks MOTHERSHIP Dual Channel Tube Overdrive Preamp with Cab Sim and MIDI Control:

“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.

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 with a latency of less than 1.2 ms
  • 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)

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, A/B selection and bypass and also a serial mono FX loop for added tonal versatility.

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.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Stuff About Preamp Pedals

Preamp pedals are designed to shape and boost a guitar’s core tone, often acting as the front end of an amplifier or as a complete amp-style sound on a pedalboard. They can add clean gain, warmth, EQ control, or amp-like drive, and are commonly used to improve signal strength, push an amp harder, or run directly into a power amp or recording interface. Understanding output level, EQ controls and how they interact with other pedals helps players use preamp pedals effectively in both live and studio setups.

The Important stuff

Cab. Channel. Dual — Dual describes gear designed with two of the same or complementary features working together, such as dual channels, dual pickups, or dual effects. This allows greater flexibility and tonal range, letting players switch or blend between sounds for different styles, settings, or playing dynamics without changing their setup.. Overdrive — Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit, and natural compression to your tone, capturing the feel of a pushed tube amp. They respond dynamically to your playing, offering everything from a light bluesy crunch to full, saturated rock tones. Perfect for boosting solos or shaping your core sound, an overdrive pedal brings character and life to any setup. Whether you prefer vintage smoothness or modern bite, these pedals are essential for players who want expressive, touch-sensitive drive with plenty of personality.. preamp — A preamp is a stage in the signal chain that boosts the guitar’s signal and shapes its core tone before it reaches the power amp or recording interface. Preamp pedals and units can add gain, EQ, and character, helping define clarity, warmth, and drive while forming the foundation of a player’s overall sound.. Tube — Tube refers to valve-based amplification or circuitry that uses vacuum tubes to amplify the guitar signal. Tube amps and tube-driven pedals are valued for their warm tone, natural compression, and smooth overdrive, responding dynamically to playing strength and volume changes for a more expressive feel..
