The Juggernaut Twin is a two channel 1RU (19" outboard rack unit) class A discrete, transformer switchable, impedance selectable microphone preamp. The Juggernaut Twin is an expanded version of the Juggernaut 500 preamp (please see all the basic details of the Juggernaut 500). If you are already familiar with the Juggernaut 500 read on, if not please take a moment to read about the Juggernaut 500 which has more details about the standard functions and tonal options that we have built upon to create the Juggernaut Twin. The Juggernaut Twin is the ultimate in microphone preamps, the king of flexibility, the sultan of tone. It's the preamp you have been searching for your entire life, it IS just THAT awesome. It has even more features than it's brother, the Juggernaut 500. The new added features have opened up even more possibilities for today's modern engineer. It is THE DESERT ISLAND PREAMP. We've provided more sonic choices than any other preamp on the market. The larger 1RU rack has allowed us to expand upon the design philosophy we established in the Juggernaut 500, which is versatility versatility versatility. With more physical space in the 19" outboard unit compared to the 500 series card format, it allowed us to give the end user more options. No longer will you need multiple preamps in order to get the right sounds for your recordings; you only need one, the only one that can give you the tones and textures of many....the Juggernaut. |
What is the difference between the Juggernaut 500 and the Juggernaut Twin? The Juggernaut Twin has all the style and flavor as the original Juggernaut 500 preamp plus these cool new additions... All of these new pushbutton features are incorporated into an intelligent and intuitive interface on the front panel. Although the price of the Juggernaut Twin should be $2500.00 street, we have decided to keep it underpriced for as long as we can; because we would rather provide more people with a great piece of boutique gear at a value. |
| "tones ranging from sweet purity to velvety saturation. Thoughtful features and ergonomics make the Juggernaut a joy to use. Any studio would benefit from having a Juggernaut or two, but the preamp's sonic versatility makes it a serious contender for anyone looking for one preamp that does it all... there's no doubt this is one great product." - Michael Cooper |
American Classic- Set your Input transformer selection to Iron and Nickel output, Set the impedance low, between 300 and 1200 ohms. The Iron transformer will give you more mid emphasized tones. For API(tm) style: set to Iron in, Iron out, set impedance between 300-600 range, start at 300 and go up to 600 if needed, and use +THD make sure to increase gain about 8 clicks to compensate for padding. This sound is pretty well known. For Quad 8 Style: Iron in, Nickel Out, Impendance 3000+ ohms, (no +THD). |
British Vintage- Set your Input transformer selection to Iron, and Iron core output. For 1272 style: Use FAT and +THD and set to 300 impedance. Reset your gain to be at least 8 clicks higher to compensate for the +THD padding. For 1073 style: Use +THD, set the impedance between 3000 and 4000 ohms. Reset your gain to be at least 8 clicks higher to compensate for the +THD padding. For Helios style: Nickel in, Iron Out, Impendance 4000-6000, +THD (always increase gain 8-10 clicks when using +THD). |
Modern- Set your Input transformer selection to Nickel and Nickel output. Set the impedance between 4000 and 10,000 ohms. Nickel has more top and bottom frequencies, lots of detail. There is a wide range of preamps being manufactured today, but of them, the ones that do use Class A discrete circuits that are similar to what you get when using a Juggernaut Twin, two come to mind, those being the John Hardy and Crane Song pres. For Modern Clean style: Nickel in, Nickel out, Impendance 2000-4000 ohms, no +THD. |
Everywhere in between- with the Juggernaut preamp you have the freedom and flexibility of choice. There are actually 656 possible settings when you use the 4 x possible transformers combinations, 41 impedance settings, +THD, FAT mode, etc. There is nothing else like the Juggernaut, you can create new combinations using all these settings. These are just a few suggestions to get you started. It's fun to come up with new sounds. Try some unique settings using a hybrid of old and new sounds. |
