VOX SMOOTH IMPACT Compact Guitar Effect Compressor with Vacuum Valvenergy 2nd Pedal, Nutube, Tube, VE-SI

The first pedal-type vacuum tube compressor that produces a solid sound with a light touch. Equipped with the next-generation vacuum tube Nutube, it delivers the organic sound that is characteristic of vacuum tubes. Rather than using VCA, optical, or FET methods, it takes advantage of the nonlinear range of tubes and features harmonics derived from vacuum tubes that are different from clipping. Not only can you create cuts that emphasize the compression, but you can also produce a solid sound with a light touch even when the settings don't give off any sense of compression. A newly developed dedicated buffer circuit provides a natural response and light playing feel, just like plugging a 3m cable directly into an amplifier, even when the effect is off and the pedal is in buffered bypass mode.
