  • American tube amp-like tones in 2 voicings: black face or tweed.
    The full eq works in tandem with the CRANK control: not only lets you set the tone you want, but if you set CRANK high enough, it shapes the saturation type. This is exactly how a real cranked tube amp behaves, because the tone controls have also an influence on the power amp section saturation.
    Switch to BLKFACE mode, for a big rich clean, but always breakup-ready if you really dig into the strings with big dynamics, or to TWEED mode, to have a more mid-focused sound, crunch-easy, with saturation always at hand, as soon as you play harder.
    Old or New Tubes? When you put a new tube set in you tube amp, you get more power and volume, and more presence and clarity. But there are also iconic sounds that were obtained with tubes that weren’t brand new, and they produce a more mellow and rounded sound, and are more saturation-prone. With this control you can choose the tube age, and you’ll get the best of both worlds.

    Always great playing RJ!
    I think this is a great idea for a pedal. The two amps, the old/new tubes, etc. but it doesn't grab me as far as the sound. It doesn't sound bad at all, it sounds really good but just not very unique. Sounds like a lot of other pedals. Sounds kinda Marshally to me, not so Fenderish.

    • @brspo1987
      @brspo1987 2 роки тому

      This was my initial reaction after watching the first five minutes of this video. This may or may not be an awesome pedal, but I wouldn't be able to decide that from this video alone. This guy is a serious picker with fantastic attention to dynamics, phrasing, and obviously has a pretty clear idea of what sounds he's hearing in his head and how to get them out of this pedal w/his guitars and rig. That's the problem with most gear demo'd by guitarists of this caliber, quite frankly. This guy is going to get great tone out of whatever rig he sits down with because a) he's that good of a player, but also b) he knows how to get the "right" sounds out of what he's playing through. A fella could sit down with the same guitars, the same amp, same pedal, and if everything is set at neutral, may not have any idea how to approach getting the tone the fella in this video did. Guess it's the long way around saying, until you've played a pedal with your guitars, your amplifier, and most importantly, your fingers doing the picking, you really can't be sure if it's going to be a piece of equipment that works for you or not.
      Still a great premise on this pedal, though, and I'm intrigued. I came across it looking for something that can do the Tweed thing with my Super Reverb/Twin Reverb after I tried and skidded the Wampler Tweed '57 after trying for hours to get a sound I liked out of it and failing.

      Yes, we changed just the brand name. The pedals and the company stay exactly the same. (we believe that the VOLTA name sounds better in English, and there is also a makeup company which had the old name, and customers got confused on socials, expecting to see guitar pedals and seeing lipsticks, and vice versa! 😀)
