FUEL INJECTOR

Product Description

An Overdrive with Distinct Tube-like Response and Rich Harmonics, Featuring Organic Distortion

FUEL INJECTOR offers a distinctive overdrive with clean characteristics, rich harmonics, and a natural sense of compression and bite. Developed by amp manufacturer VOX, this overdrive pedal stands out for its amp-like distortion, in contrast to typical pedal distortions. Unlike effects that color the tone like preamp-style pedals, FUEL INJECTOR preserves its natural characteristics while distorting through Nutube, providing a tone that sounds as if your connected amp is pushed into even more distortion. Compared to many drive pedals, including TS-style ones, it features overwhelming harmonic components and a pronounced compression characteristic reminiscent of a tube amp. The harmonic richness created by distorting Nutube in multiple stages, along with the bias variations unique to tubes, produces a resonant tone, capturing the essence of an amp-like sound.

This characteristic allows for a pleasant drive sound when utilizing this pedal with a clean amp setting. FUEL INJECTOR adds a “resilience” to the sound, lifting up gracefully even during bends, ensuring that the player’s expression is conveyed seamlessly. Whether driving a clean amp with this pedal or using it as a booster for a slightly crunchy amp, it will undoubtedly prove powerful and effective.
