Vox Valvenergy Silk Drive VE-SD Nutube Valve Distortion Pedal

The Vox Valvenergy series includes four compact distortion and overdrive pedals powered by Nutube for warm, responsive amp-like tones. Each model offers an all-analog signal path with an internally boosted voltage for greater headroom and dynamics.

These pedals feature three output modes-Standard, Preamp, and Cab-Sim-for use with a guitar rig, as a line-level preamp, or direct recording with a built-in analog cabinet simulator. The Channel Link function allows chaining multiple Valvenergy pedals to switch between them like amp channels, and a high-contrast OLED display shows an oscilloscope of the waveform and the current mode.

Voiced for harmonically rich boutique overdrive tones; controls: GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, BRIGHT switch, MODE switch
