Vox Tone Garage Straight 6 Drive

Vox Tone Garage Straight 6 Drive

The traditional VOX British overdrive
This overdrive overflows
with the wide dynamic range of VOX’s signature British-flavored
distortion. Turning the bright switch on will give you a sparkling
British sound with defined highs, even from a guitar equipped with
humbucking pickups. This is an all-around overdrive that's a great
choice for a wide range of styles.


Newly-developed Hi-Volt technology that overturns expectations for compact effect units
Hi-Volt
technology enables the vacuum tube to operate at 200V while still
running on a battery. This enables a true tube-driven sound that
overturns your expectations for a compact effect unit.


What is Hi-Volt?
VOX has revealed a new vacuum tube circuit
technology called Hi-Volt. It delivers high voltage (200V) to a 12AX7
vacuum tube by using 6x AA batteries or the DC9V power supply.


The discrete circuit works at 20V, which is still considered high
voltage operation compared to other general effects products. The result
is a natural and dynamic tone which is similar to that of a vacuum tube
amplifier. Even though vacuum tubes are considered big by modern
component size standards, our engineers were able to keep these pedals
small, so you don’t have to worry about them taking up too much space on
your pedal board.


Gain control that lets you vary the character of your sound
The
transistor amplification circuit has also received a good deal of
consideration. We've designed the gain control so that adjusting its
position does not simply change the amplitude, but will also change the
tonal character in a subtle way. From zero to max, it yields an array of
highly usable and natural overdrive tones.


Carefully designed power supply circuit that extends vacuum tube lifespan
Since
high current flows through a vacuum tube when the power is turned on,
we have provided a heater current slow start circuit that extends the
lifespan of the vacuum tube and also avoids malfunctions for the AC
adapter.
