Whether it's subtle, touch-sensitive, sticky gain drop or a hot red signal to hit the input stage of your favorite amp ... V-1 gives your sound a serious dose of Tone. The simple four control layout shapes and meters just the right amount of fat, liquid gain produced by the 4 triodes that do the dirty work, snug in your stage-proof bunker, and sure of a street-foot output.

And to ensure the purity of the host amp when it's not lighting things up with the V-1, we use a relay to bypass the guitar through two taps. This means there's no sacrifice of its original tone ... unlike many overdrive devices that compromise tone even when they are turned off.

So whether you're updating the past or broadening your horizons, the super-sensitive, thick and lush gain V-1 will turn any amp into a precise instrument of expression.

V-1 Bottle Rocket

The Stowaway™ is our compact 100% discrete Class-A Input Buffer solution designed to remedy a whole array of Input challenges caused by a variety of issues. From impedance loading and mismatching, to changes in a pickup’s character and response as a result of varying effect pedals’ input impedance and interconnecting cables’ capacitance, the Stowaway provides the stable, consistent load your instrument needs to sound as intended. While the Stowaway's footprint is small,  allowing it to be mounted on the most crowded of pedal boards, its Feature Set is professional and comprehensive. If your signal does any significant traveling, bring along a Stowaway to guard your Tone.

STOWAWAY

The Switch-Track™ enables an either-or-both, ABY scenario for your two favorite amplifiers. Select between two different amplifiers, two identical amps for more Channels and sonic options or combine them for a bigger, fuller sound, or a specific blended character. 

The INPUT is buffered to prevent signal loss due to increased loading when both amplifiers are engaged. Both OUTPUTS are transformer isolated for consistent tone and provide unbalanced or balanced signals for longer than normal cable runs. The “B” OUTPUT’s Ground is default-lifted to eliminate Ground loops.

Switch-Track

The THROTTLE BOX™ Distortion serves up all genres of ROCK with cut and aggression, but retains the signature warmth and organic sonic quality found in all our amplifiers. While its main strengths lie in higher-gain sounds, it is quite versatile and it’s lower gain options shouldn’t be overlooked for classic rock or howling blues. The THROTTLE BOX also features a unique MID CUT that scoops out midrange to produce the signature Boogie® “V” EQ-curve that so many artists have employed in our amps to create the world’s heaviest guitar tones!
