Vox

Gain, gain and more gain The Valvenergy range from VOX is a collection of 4 pedals based on four famous amp types, American low gain, British high gain, American very high and Vox ... well they didn't need to beat around the bush on that last one. The cutting edge gives us modern high gain American tones similar to the likes of rectifier amps, these pedals aren't any ordinary Amp in A Box (AIAB) pedals though for several different reasons. Chiefly among these factors is the Nu-Tube which we've seen in some Vox amps over past couple of years and can already be found on TonePedia in the Ibanez Nu-Tubescreamer. The Nu-Tube is a modern approximation of a vacuum tube (or Valve in the UK) yet in a much smaller surface mounted component and whats more ... it sounds great! Each of these pedals create their tones via the Nu-Tube's giving us a very organic feel from the pedals. Each pedal features an OLED screen showing the oscilloscope waveform read of the tones being produced, nice touch as it looks great. Vox have added unique ability to link these pedals up via a small trs cable which allows them to turn each other on/off when you wish to switch between the pedals, of course if you would like to stack them that's perfectly possible too. The Icing on the cake is each pedal has 3 modes, standard stomp box mode, pre amp mode which you can run straight into the power amp of your beloved amplifier and lastly "cab" which allows you to use the pedals in place of your amplifier. This last feature is great for recording and allows us to have 4 classic sounding amps for less than the price of a single full blown

Vox in a Box The Valvenergy range from VOX is a collection of 4 pedals based on four famous amp types, American low gain, British high gain, American very high and Vox ... well they didn't need to beat around the bush on that last one. The mystic Edge gives us all of the classic chime we expect from classic AC30's, its not surprising the Vox nailed that Vox tone, these pedals aren't any ordinary Amp in A Box (AIAB) pedals though for several different reasons.

Straight In Back in the 60's everything everyone made was either a fuzz or a Treble Booster. Vox released a range of four effects which the player would plug directly into the guitar/mic etc.The Distortion - Treble - Bass and the Mic Boosters were very unique (and still are), cheaper to make than the pedals and featured a true bypass switch.This distortion unit is really a early Fuzz Face/Tone Bender variant in disguise and has become extremely sought after by collectors therefore they're hard to find and cost a fortune when you do find one. This is why we like to bring you the hard to find and mega expensive vintage pedals for you to experience without selling off a kidney or two.  The Vox Showroom site has this to say about the pedal " The #153 JMI Vox Distortion Booster "fuzz tone" was also introduced in the November 1965 JMI Vox price list. The steel case sported a dark red painted finish. The booster utilized a battery operated gain circuit driven by two silicon transistors and featured a three-pole power switch that offered true signal bypass. The UK retail price in 1965 was 4£ 4s. The #153 Distortion Booster provided a less costly alternative to the germanium transistor powered JMI Vox "Tone Bender" fuzz tone."

A One pound, 50W guitar amplifier that delivers an authentic tube sound. Are we dreaming? Vox's MV50 series offers seriously innovative and tiny amplifiers which sport an analog preamp, tubes and weight one pound! The AC version is a vintage-style roaring class D amplifier which can go from relatively clean to British style overdrive. It is surprisingly dynamic and reacts well to the guitar player. To keep it compact and light, Vox did not overpack it with extra features such as reverb and so on. They kept it to the point: Gain, Tone, Volume and an EQ back switch for fine tuning of it's overall sound when going through a small/big cabinet. Another great feature is the headphone out.

Are we dreaming? Vox's MV50 series offers seriously innovative and tiny amplifiers which sport an analog preamp, tubes and weight one pound! The Clean version is the cleanest model within the MV50 series and as the name suggest, it really is clean. But once you crank up the volume it does saturates beautifully and thanks to the attenuator switch at the back you will not get the neighbours angry, unless you want to and then you can since this amplifier delivers no less than 50 Watts!The beautiful thing about the MV50 Clean is that it does stay clean across most volume levels, unlike the infamous AC15 / AC30 combos, so if you are a jazz player or if you like your amp to be clean, yet loud, be sure to check the MV50 Clean.To keep it compact and light, Vox did not overpack it with extra features such as reverb and so on.

Are we dreaming? Vox's MV50 series offers seriously innovative and tiny amplifiers which sport an analog preamp, tubes and weight one pound! The Rock version is, as the name suggest, an overdriven rocking and roaring class D amplifier, perfect for the rockers among us. It can get relatively clean as well but the true charm of this head is at higher gain stages where the Nutube is being driven. The MV50 Rock delivers an awesome 80's style distortion. it also works well for certain Metal styles.To keep it compact and light, Vox did not overpack the MV50 Rock with extra features such as reverb and so on.

For those who crave more power, the AC30 expands on the captivating sound of its little brother by doubling the wattage. Employing a quartet of EL84 power tubes, the AC30 Custom pumps 30 watts of remarkable tone through a pair of 12” Alnico Blue speakers. Capable of both enchanting clean and raucous overdriven sounds, the signature chime of the AC30 Custom pairs seamlessly the intricacies of your playing style, resulting in a sound that is truly your own. Perhaps the most iconic amplifier in VOX’s pedigree, the AC30 earned its place in history as the amplifier that powered the British Invasion. Since then, the AC30 has remained the choice of the world’s most accomplished artists who have come to rely on its unique voice to amplify theirs.

High Gain British Power in GOLD  The Valvenergy range from VOX is a collection of 4 pedals based on four famous amp types, American low gain, British high gain, American very high and Vox ... well they didn't need to beat around the bush on that last one. The Copperhead Drive certainly has those mid range characteristics we expect from amps like Marshalls, these pedals aren't any ordinary Amp in A Box (AIAB) pedals though for several different reasons.

What the Fuzz is all about The pedal that really changed it all was the Sola Sound Tone Bender. You can hear it in hits by the greatest guitar players of the mid ‘60s and easily understand what the fuss was all about, it was about Fuzz! VOX (JMI) wanted a piece of the pie and produced their version of the Tone Bender by JEN in Italy. The pedal we have demoed is all stock from around 1968-9. It uses the SFT363 and SFT337 germanium transistors and sounds incredible, though different from the original Sola Sound Tone Bender which uses a pair of OC76.
