POWER BURST

Sku: VE-PB

Product Description

Unleash the Resilience of Sound:
A Simple Booster with 1 Knob and 3 Modes

The POWER BURST is a simple booster with one knob and three modes, providing a natural sense of compression and saturation. While maintaining a natural tone, it goes beyond merely increasing volume. By turning the Boost knob, it brings forth a “tube-like” compression and saturation. Whether you want to push forward during a guitar solo, add power without altering the sound character of other equipment when combined with this unit, or exert influence when seeking a harder edge in your sound, the POWER BURST is an effect pedal that delivers.

The POWER BURST brings a sound with “rich sustain,” allowing for the effective expression of guitar techniques inherent in the blues, such as bending and vibrato. Moreover, cranking up the BOOST to the maximum and driving the amp creates a classic rock sound.

Controls

BOOST Knob: Adjusts the amount of boost. Turning it to the right adds the distinctive saturation and compression typical of vacuum tubes.

Mini Switch: Offers three modes based on personal preference.

TREBLE: Emphasizes the high frequencies, suitable for situations where you want to highlight the treble.

NATURAL: Natural tube sound mode, serving as the standard mode.

MIDDLE: Emphasizes the mid-range frequencies, ideal for producing a thick sound or during solo performances.

Maximizing the characteristics of Nutube, a pedal series that brings out the unique features of combined equipment.

The Valvenergy series has been well received as a pedal series that delivers the response of a tube amp, and now four new models are added to the lineup.

All models are equipped with the next-generation Nutube tube, and include a booster (Power Burst), a tube compressor (Smooth Impact), an overdrive (Fuel Injector), and a graphic equalizer (Tone Sculptor) ; a complete set of effects that are a must-have for guitarists. The pedals are designed to take full advantage of the characteristics of the guitars, effects pedals, and amplifiers combined before and after the pedal, and are simple and natural pedals that you will never get bored with and will want to play forever.

The VOX original sound that cannot be categorized as a “-type” sound, and the organic tube-like sound that cannot be imitated anywhere else by utilizing Nutube, have been voiced through repeated trial and error and adjustments.

Newly Developed Buffer Circuit

To harness the full potential of Nutube, a high-quality buffer was essential for the initial stage, serving as the guitar’s primary entry point. Consequently, we engineered a dedicated buffer circuit to meet this requirement. When the effects are deactivated, the Nutube functions as a buffered bypass, providing a natural response and a light feel akin to plugging a 3-meter shield directly into the amp. With the effects activated, the buffer’s traits are synergized with Nutube’s distinctive compression, resulting in a playing experience that is both light and easy, with nuances that enhance your performance.

Sound-Inspired Etched Design

The top panel of the new chassis features an etched design inspired by the unique sound of each effect pedal. The visual appeal of an effects pedal on a board is a crucial consideration in selecting your gear. The organic design of the Valvenergy series is sure to enhance the overall aesthetics of your board with a cool and distinctive touch.
