This high voltage operation mirrors the tension voltage found in a valve amp, making these pedals react more like a preamp than a standard pedal.The Boost Valve Pedal is the ultimate high voltage valve boost pedal, combining a Class A gain stage with a natural-sounding passive James-Baxandall EQ. This combination creates a class-leading pedal that's akin to adding two extra hot valve stages to your amp.The pedal's built-in buffer/line driver is perfect for preserving your tone when using long cables or large pedalboards. It's even capable of driving low impedance pedals like many wah-wahs. The Boost Valve Pedal is not just a pedal, it's a versatile tool for any musician. It can function as a valve overdrive or boost pedal into your amp, a valve preamp, a valve recording interface via low latency USB, a valve preamp stage to warm up a digital amp, or even a back-up amp via D.I. out using Cab Rig into a PA. The new Cab Rig simulator technology reproduces the sound and feel of a mic'd up guitar cab in incredible detail.
