V4 The Sheriff

Like the Sheriff heads, the V4 pedal is inspired by the classic Plexi tones that powered many a guitar hero to fame in the 70s and 80s. Some of these early non-master volume heads were modified with extra gain stages, becoming the ancestors of today’s modern high-gain channel-switching designs. On this pedal, there’s less difference between the two channels: Channel 1 has enough gain to produce a serious crunch at higher levels, while 2 kicks in a serious boost that’s great for all kinds of solo work. This pedal has a wide dynamic range and excellent response that allows experienced players to vary overdrive effects with picking strength. All kinds of picking squeals and feedback jump out of the speaker at proper volume levels, making the Sheriff a perfect partner for classic rockers who like to push the envelope now and again. Verdict A cracking overdrive pedal that considerably expands any amplifier’s capabilities
