4 input selection 
2 identical outputs
Treble & Bass tone controls
59 Step volume control

Every Aretha MKII preamp comes with your choice of chassis wood and plate colors plus any of the options listed below, please look here for wood choices.
The power switch can be either a LED pushbutton or a LED toggle switch.
 
All tubes shipped with Aretha have a minimum of 10hrs run in time in our own Aretha.
We have chosen PS Vane Horizon tubes as an upgradeable tube option. These are excellent tubes sounding great right out of the box, but as mentioned above, have a minimum of 10rhs run in time in our own Aretha.
 
Aretha MKII is built to order and will take around 6-8 weeks to complete and ship.
 
Please NOTE: the 6SN7 cannot be subbed for the 6SL7 with this preamp.
 
 
NOTE: Aretha MKII will be discontinued once Aretha LT comes online in September!
