Real tube behavior.
Modern control. No compromise.

CHUCK combines a real analog tube input stage with a modern, stage-ready platform — built to protect the most important part of your signal chain: the very first moment your instrument hits the input.

Real tube voltage.

CHUCK ships with a 24 V external power supply — but tubes need proper voltage to work as intended. That’s why CHUCK internally steps the incoming 24 V up to approximately 250 V tube operating voltage. The tube stage then behaves like a real analog circuit: proper headroom, response, saturation and dynamic interaction. No starvation gimmick, no “tube flavor” decoration — real tube operation.

External power supply.

CHUCK uses an external supply for three clear reasons: to keep the unit as compact as possible, to reduce internal noise and interference, and to keep the design reliable and stage-ready. The supply is lockable, so it stays securely connected during live use, transport and demanding stage situations.

Analog-first signal path.

CHUCK’s analog tube input stage is where the core feel begins. Before effects, before presets, before any digital processing, your instrument meets a real analog circuit — where dynamics, attack, body and harmonic structure are shaped. If the raw tone already feels inspiring, everything that follows becomes more musical.

Latency.

Designed for direct playing feel — fast, direct and connected. Only the IR sits outside the base figure.

0.86 ms

Base latency

Already includes the analog section, EQ, reverb, delay, chorus, amp simulation, main EQ, compressor and FX Loop — everything except the IR.

ATE — Adaptive Tube Engine.

ATE is not a modeling system. It doesn’t recreate a fixed profile — it shapes real analog voicings from the circuit itself.

Modeling

Recreates a fixed amplifier profile.

ATE — real analog voicing

Works with real analog tube behavior and creates different analog voicings at the circuit level.

The modern evolution of amp modding — no soldering, no open chassis. Controllable, recallable and playable.
