Key Features
The TC Electronic DC30 is a preamp pedal that authentically recreates the tone of a classic British top boost amp from the 1960s. Offering two independent channels with their own gain, volume, and EQ controls to represent the experience of using a jumper cable on the amp to stack them, this amp excels at classic blues, rock, indie, and pop tones. Perfect for home recording, practice, and live performances, this pedal gives you realistic amp tone and feel right on your pedalboard.
The DC30 also offers a switchable pre or post-amp boost with adjustable gain, adding more gain to your tone to drive the amp harder, boosting mids like using an overdrive pedal would. Its DI output features an official Celestion cabinet simulation, emulating a 2 x 12 cabinet loaded with their unique Alnico Blue speakers for authentically vintage sound, great for gigging directly into a PA system or running into an audio interface for recording. The additional headphone output ensures that this preamp pedal can be used for noiseless practice sessions.

The DC30 delivers a painstakingly built recreation of a classic top boost guitar amp with TC Electronics' brand new AMPWORX technology. Individual volume, EQ, and gain controls across both channels allow you to stack amplification stages your way, using the distinctive, louder Brilliant channel. All of this delivers a realistic, responsive amp right on your pedalboard.
As with the original amp that inspired it, the DC30 features a unique treble-focused grit that really shines on blues, rock, indie, and pop. Being a staple amp of popular genres throughout the 60s, the DC30 recreates this with its Brilliant channel and high cut controls. Combined with this, you can get some extra drive and punch from the built-in boost circuitry, recreating the experience of adding an overdrive into your chain - with adjustable gain and the ability to switch between positioning it before or after the amp simulation.
To add that final touch of polish, this preamp pedal comes with an official Celestion cabinet simulator, emulating the 2 x 12 cabinets the amp that inspired this pedal always came with. This recreates the tone of Celestion's unique Alnico Blue speakers, typically associated with the original amp, for even more authenticity. Its individual DI output makes it easy to run directly into PA systems when playing live, or audio interfaces when recording at home.
