Vox Valvenergy Silk Drive

I am fascinated by AIAB pedals and own many. This is perhaps the best. The bright switch is more than it appears, as it adds an aggressive upper mid focus that transforms the pedal from a beautiful controlled semi clean to a rock 'n' roll fire breather. IMO the nutube technology appears to yield real benefit: it provides a very smooth, touch-responsive transition into saturation, but beyond that has a subtle 'tube' feel going beyond FET-based distortion circuits and having less midrange transistor artifacts.

Been using it on a hollowbody for getting a bit of bite without distortion, and works fantastic for that, makes a warm tube sound. You don't get battery- operation with this, but that's not a problem, recommended.

I actually bought it before but I needed to return for some reason

its been my second time of purchasing it.

And I am so happy with this pedal.

I mainly use it as my cabsimulator pedal for my Guitar track recording together with my other pedals

Thanks Thomann! Cheers!

I use this as an always on tube/tone sweetener for my strat and I have to say the real tube warmth and life it adds to my sound and to my other pedals is just incredible and very addoctive to play. You don’t want to put the guitar down with this one turned on!

using as preamp for some reason
