  • Tube sweetness!

    As reviewed by J. Bridges on 9/12/2009

    The clean channel of the Gainiac 2 is amazing. The distortion channel can get overdive to the max, without sounding muddy or spongy.If a different sound is desired, the 12AX7 tube can be changed to any 12AX7 tube of choice. I Use the Gainiac 2 with a Marshall MG100 half-stack. The MG100 alone sounds dry and hollow, with no sound projection from the cabinet, not at all what they are known for. However... With the Gainiac 2, all of a sudden I have a new amp...with glassy & warm cleans, and seriously crunchy, clean distortion (not a fuzz box)...and the sound projection from the cabinet now is absolutely killer!!! Simply stated- It makes my solid-state MG100 half-stack sound like a tube amp. If it were lost or stolen I would gladly replace it. In my opinion, anyone looking to turn a solid-state amp into a true tube sounding amp, the Gainiac 2 will do it.I hope this review helps.

  • A decent guitar preamp

    As reviewed by Fuzzball on 10/2/2006

    I tested out this preamp unit for a friend a few weeks back and I had mixed results. I liked the unit for guitar and bass amplification but I did not like it for vocals (which it was not made for anyway). The unit colored the sound in a way that I did not like very much. I tested the preamp with a Sure SM57 and several MXL mics on both male and female voices. If you need a inexpensive preamp for instruments this may be a good choice, but if you need a preamp for vocal tracks I would consider looking elsewhere.

  • Rocktron Gainiac

    As reviewed by sweetguitarz on 10/25/2006

    THis preamp is just an ok preamp. The clean is really nice sounding warm and very usable with effects. The distortion was good but not over the top. Its a small unit not very wide and heavey. i think it has 2 tubes in it. i would say the clean was very nice on it.
