TONE SCULPTOR

Sku: VE-TS

Product Description

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.

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.
