Why tinemachine is the ideal preamp for vintage e-pianos

The tinemachine is a high-quality analog Vorverstärker für Vintage-E-Pianos, entwickelt in Deutschland für Musiker, die den Klang ihres Vintage-E-Pianos auf ein neues Level heben wollen. Mit seinem durchdachten Design, leistungsfähiger Klangregelung und integrierten Effekten ist der tinemachine is the perfect solution for studio, stage, or home use.

Analog design meets modern versatility

At the heart of the tinemachine there is a three-band equalizer featuring a semi-parametric midrange and a continuously variable low-pass filter. This allows for precise shaping of the E-Piano sound—from the bell-like highs of the Mark II to the warm, biting mids of early Mark I models. The integrated optical compressor provides musical dynamic control without overwhelming the tone.

Stereo Tremolo and Flexible Effects Section

Das optische Stereo-Tremolo des tinemachine offers two modes: classic ping-pong in traditional suitcase style or mono for Wurlitzer-like tremolo. The integrated DSP provides eight digital effects — including reverb, delay, chorus and phaser. The MIX control lets you blend these effects continuously with the dry signal. Since tremolo is always available and every effect program includes a reverb control, up to three effects can run simultaneously, e.g. tremolo -> delay -> reverb.

Perfect for Stage, Studio, and Home

The tinemachine features both unbalanced jack and balanced XLR outputs with ground lift—ideal for noise-free stage integration. Footswitch inputs allow remote activation of tremolo and effects. A built-in headphone amplifier is available for silent practice. An integrated effects loop also enables seamless integration of external gear
