Vox VE-TS Valvenergy Tone Sculptor Preamp/EQ
They say:
Equipped with Nutube in the preamp section, a graphic equalizer that adds musical distortion.
A graphic equalizer that allows you to set the frequency range and Q width tailored for guitar tone shaping. With Nutube in the preamp section, raising the level adds distinctive tube harmonics and compression. Choose frequency bands of 100Hz/250Hz/570Hz/800Hz/2.2kHz/5.6kHz, designed for intuitive tone shaping. To facilitate active tone shaping, the frequency bands are set to be more effective by widening the Q width compared to a typical graphic equalizer. It’s easy to use for switching between backing and solo, as well as for overall adjustments. The inclusion of Nutube in the preamp provides a musical distortion when the level is increased. The absence of a center click is intentionally designed for easy and fine adjustments.
Set the low frequencies lower and the high frequencies higher for a clean tone arpeggio, ensuring each string sounds distinct. Boost the mids for easy solo articulation, or set it sharp for creating a sharp sound in heavy backing. The versatility allows for various sound options.
- 100Hz to 5.6kHz: ±10dB adjustment for each
- LEVEL: ±12dB adjustment of the output volume
