What Do Veri-Tone Say?

By far the most complex pedal in the Veri-Tone line-up, Arcturus is a vintage-style Class A preamp inspired by the input section of the EMI TG12345 recording console, responsible for recording albums like “Abbey Road” and “Dark Side of the Moon”.

With two single-ended gain sections coupled by a Triad steel-core transformer, the Veri-Tone Arcturus is ready to deliver classic, vintage tone from mild crunch to searing fuzz.

The Arcturus is currently being used by artists such as Sean Lennon, Nels Cline (Wilco), Rodrigo Amarante and Sarah Lipstate (Noveller, Iggy Pop).

The 24-channel TG12345 was EMI’s first solid-state console deemed worthy of following the tube-based REDD series. As it took pride of place at Abbey Road Studios, plenty of classic albums were recorded and mixed on it — including The Beatles’“Abbey Road”and Pink Floyd’s“Dark Side of the Moon”,among others.

Guitar players particularly liked to plug their instruments directly into the console’s input, bypassing their amps entirely and laying down tracks that became icons for a whole generation — just listen to John Lennon’s searing tone on the single version of“Revolution”

The Veri-Tone Arcturus preamp was designed from the ground up to give players that same classic tone from an iconic recording console. It features a very high input impedance, so there’s no danger of losing the top-end from a long cable run or signal chain.
