Just mentioned as a "two-channel preamp" in his interview for Music Radar.
“I have an acoustic world and electric world running simultaneously. First and foremost, I run through a Radial DI system, and then it goes into this Midas two-channel preamp. On the left side is my bridge sound and on the right side is my magnetic sound. And I’m basically using it as a blender."
