The Brick allows for isolated balanced low impedance output for all instruments. Provides either unity gain or use the variable output level control for up to 55dB of all tube gain! perfect tube tone and isolation for vintage keyboards, electric bass and acoustic/electric guitars with internal transducer type pickups. Onboard phantom power allows the use of high quality condenser mics on stage.

The Brick makes a great preamp for use with many amps which have effects loops. In an amp such as a Marshall or Mesa, which have their own signature tone which comes from their preamp design, one can run their guitar into The Brick, and take the XLR Brick output with an XLR to 1/4" cable. Run the 1/4" end of the cable to the amps effects return. You have now bypassed the amplifiers preamp and your amp will now allow the output section to be very clean. This is great for clean sounds, and some folks love this for acoustic guitar work. This effectively doubles the use of many amps. The latest Fender Pro Tube series amps (Pro Twin, Pro Concert, and Pro Reverb) have a pre out / main in set of jacks. Use the main in, as it is specifically designed for this sort of use.

Use The Brick in live applications with the guitar plugged into "THE BRICK'S" 1/4" input, and then run a cable from the second 1/4" input to your amp. There will be no processing on your signal to the amp. Then take the XLR output to the house system. This allows a mix of your amps output and also allows you to control what level goes to the house system from the stage.
