Uso già un setup abbastanza rumoroso, quindi avere il gate interno mi ha aiutato parecchio. Non devo aggiungere un altro pedale solo per quello. Regolato bene, pulisce senza farmi sparire le code

One of the things I like is that you don't always have to crank it up. At medium gain, it has a really nice tone, more open and less compressed. That makes it useful even for less heavy songs.

I needed something that would fit on a pedalboard without compromising too much on sound quality. The Leviathan Preamp gave me exactly that. It’s compact, but doesn’t skimp on sound quality.

It’s convenient to use on its own, but I really loved it when connected to a power amp and a speaker cabinet. That’s when you can really tell it’s not just a simple high-gain pedal.

It sounds really satisfying with palm mutes. It has that crisp response, but it doesn't sound artificial. You can hear the attack and the body of the note, not just the strike.

I come up with a lot of ideas in my home studio. Since I started using it, I’ve been able to record faster and with fewer edits afterward. The initial sound is already pretty close to the final result.

I'm not talking about aesthetics; I'm talking about how it's managed. The levels are more consistent, the sounds are easier to recall, and the pauses are cleaner. Ultimately, you play with less to worry about.

I like that the two channels are different, but they don’t feel like two separate products. You can switch from crunch to high gain and still stay within the same sonic world. This really helps when playing live.

I thought I’d have to spend hours digging through the menus, but the main settings are actually pretty straightforward. You can dive deeper if you want, but you can get the sound you want without driving yourself crazy.

I don’t see it as a complete replacement for a full-size amp, but in many situations it’s more practical. For recording, rehearsing, and small gigs, this is all I need. That’s a big plus.

It might sound trivial, but with such a precise sound, I notice my mistakes more clearly. It doesn’t mask them too much. In the long run, it’s also helping me with my studies.

It’s easy to produce noise with high gain, but it’s harder to stay clear. Here, the notes stand out clearly. Even with the most open chords, the sound doesn’t get muddled.

I show up, plug in, check a couple of levels, and I'm ready to go. For anyone who rehearses in different places often, that's a huge plus. Before, I was always wasting time setting up my amp and pedals.

I don't just use it for rhythm tracks. With a dedicated preset and a little boost, the leads sound great without getting too sharp. They retain their sustain, but don't sound artificial.

There are features that might seem like minor details on paper, but they’re actually really useful. Mute, presets, headphone output, loop everything makes sense. It doesn’t feel like a device crammed with features just for show.

Je l'ai testé directement dans un petit mixeur pour un essai rapide et je pensais que ce n'était qu'une solution provisoire. Mais le son était déjà très bon. Avec la bonne réverbération, le résultat était très convaincant.

It makes sense to me if you want to build a more serious setup, not just add a pedal to the chain. You put it in the center, and everything else revolves around it. Since I’ve been using it, my pedalboard has a much clearer structure.

Lo uso in un progetto alternative rock e ci sta benissimo. Basta non esagerare con il gain. Il primo canale è molto più musicale di quanto mi aspettassi.

Il suono high gain è pieno, però non si allarga troppo sulle basse. Sui riff stoppati resta preciso. È il tipo di suono che ti fa sentire subito se stai suonando bene.

L’ho usato sia a casa sia in prova con la band. Non ho dovuto rifare tutto da zero passando da un contesto all’altro. Qualche ritocco serve sempre, ma il carattere resta quello.

Lo uso con le cuffie quando non posso fare rumore. La cosa positiva è che non mi sembra di studiare con un suono triste. Resto più motivato e finisco per suonare più spesso.

Non volevo passare a un sistema tutto digitale, ma avevo bisogno di semplificare. Questo è stato il punto d’incontro giusto. Ho un setup più leggero, ma ancora una risposta che mi sembra familiare.

Cercavo un preamp per ritmiche moderne, ma non volevo un suono sottile. Il Leviathan ha la precisione che serve, però mantiene una bella presenza sui medi. Nel mix si fa sentire senza diventare fastidioso.

I used to be one of those people who thought that without a cabinet, something was always missing. I’m not saying it’s exactly the same, but with this pedal, the direct signal has become much more convincing. It’s perfect for recording and rehearsing.

I use the gain boost for certain rhythm parts and the solo boost when I need a bit more punch. It doesn't distort the sound; it just boosts it where needed. It's very practical when playing in a band.

Quando sei da solo e devi suonare, registrare e gestire tutto, la velocità conta. Con questo ho meno passaggi tecnici e più tempo per suonare. È una cosa che apprezzi dopo pochi giorni.

Avevo paura che con IR e parte digitale perdesse un po’ di naturalezza. Invece la parte valvolare si sente. Ovviamente bisogna scegliere bene le impostazioni, ma la base è calda e reattiva.

Il loop stereo è una delle cose che mi ha convinto. Delay e riverberi restano ordinati e il suono finale è più ampio. Non lo uso sempre esagerato, ma quando serve si sente.

Prefect tube preamp and power amp simulation for me to get “My sound” 😀🤘🎶👍

Before, every test was a gamble, different amp, different speaker, different volume. Now I have a more stable foundation. Even if I change environments, I always start with something I’m familiar with.

I tried it with humbuckers set to a fairly high gain and with a more vintage-style guitar. It retains its own character without overpowering the instrument’s. That’s something I really appreciate.

Non è piccolissimo, ma rispetto a una testata è un altro mondo. Lo metto nella borsa della pedaliera e ho già una parte enorme del mio suono pronta. Per chi si muove spesso è comodo.
