THE VALVENERGY PEDAL SERIES STARS FOUR NUTUBEEQUIPPED GEMS

After years of cramming its Nutube tech into tiny amp heads and even an Ibanez Tube Screamer, Vox has finally brought the miniature valves into its own line of overdrive pedals. The lineup is composed of four models: the Mystic Edge (based on the AC30), Copperhead Drive (a classic rock stack sound), Silk Drive (the tone of a legendary boutique amp) and Cutting Edge (voiced for modern metal).

All four offer amp-style drive with a Nutube twist, promising tube tone and response via a nine-volt power supply internally boosted to 15 volts. Each stompbox offers buffered bypass, and the ability to switch multiple pedals on and off at once via a clever eighth-inch cable connection mode.
