The Fredenstein Artistic MicPre Plus is a 500 Series Distortion Module, and an improved version of the Artistic MicPre, in which the sonic models of the Artistic series have been consistently developed further. A new inclusion is the Colour Circuit: It is adjusted with a second knob and simulates the sound of a Tube Circuit, so that the signal can be easily enriched with harmonics or even be Overdriven.

Just like the original, the Artistic MicPre Plus continues to impress with a warm, vintage analogue sound and offers up to 65dB of Gain. Switches can be used to change the Polarity, activate a -20dB Pad and switch on +48V Phantom Power. The Input Impedance can also be lowered from 1500Ω to 300Ω for additional sound variation. There is also a DI Input for the High-Impedance signals of passive Instruments.
