Steel String mk I

Der Tone Secret von Vertex ist die Antwort auf die Hassliebe, die unzählige Gitarristen mit einem besonders schreienden grünen Overdrive-Pedal haben, das Ende der 1970er Jahre in Japan entstand. Der Tone Secret stellt die Klang-DNA der bekanntesten Benutzer des Green Screamer wieder her, die auf unzähligen Studioaufnahmen und Live-Auftritten zu hören sind, ohne dass ein komplett ausgereizter Verstärkerl erforderlich ist, um das Pedal zu betätigen. Er nutzt nur 50% der Verstärkung eines herkömmlichen grünen OD-Pedals. Mit den zusätzlichen Pre-Overdrive- und Post-Overdrive-Reglern kannst du die OD-Eigenschaften an jeden Verstärker anpassen und das Verzerren des Verstärkers simulieren, ohne den „DRIVE“ -Knopf auf Ihrem Pedal zu betätigen. Zusätzlich haben wir individuelle Regler für Höhen- und Mittenfrequenzen sowie unseren GRIT-Regler hinzugefügt, um das Verhältnis zwischen dem Verstärker und dem vom Tone Secret erzeugten Overdrive einzustellen. Wer nach einem guten Overdrive-Pedal sucht, das die klassischen und zeitgenössischen Klänge deiner Lieblingsplatten wiedergibt, ist beim Tone Secret genau richtig.

The Tone Secret from Vertex is the answer to the love-hate relationship countless guitarists have with a particularly screaming green overdrive pedal that originated in Japan in the late 1970s. The Tone Secret recreates the tonal DNA of the Green Screamer's most famous users, heard on countless studio recordings and live performances, without requiring a fully maxed out amp guy to engage the pedal. It uses only 50% of the gain of a conventional green OD pedal. With the addition of Pre-Overdrive and Post-Overdrive controls, you can match the OD characteristics to any amp and simulate amp distortion without pushing the “DRIVE” button on your pedal. Additionally, we've added individual controls for treble and mid frequencies, as well as our GRIT control to adjust the relationship between the amp and the overdrive produced by the Tone Secret.If you're looking for a good overdrive pedal that will reproduce the classic and contemporary sounds of your favorite records, look no further than the Tone Secret.

Tone Secret OD

The Vertex Boost is expertly crafted to be a clean boost, buffer and volume pedal in one. The Boost is designed to leave your tone unchanged, while boosting the level of your signal. The Boost also features an ultra-linear buffer to condition your line with ZERO tonal coloration, even with dozens of pedals in your chain. Additionally, you have total volume control by connecting the Boost with any EXP or Volume Pedal and adjusting your volume as you would with a normal volume pedal. When the Boost is OFF, the EXP will function as a volume pedal (sweeping from silent to unity gain). When the Boost is ON, the EXP or Volume Pedal will control the boosted volume (sweeping from silent to wherever the Boost level knob is set). Since your guitar signal is isolated from the impedance of your chosen EXP or Volume Pedal, your tone remains open and full-range, and most importantly, it feels like you're plugged straight into your amp.

Ultraphonix MKII Overdrive

Der T Drive ist eine klangliche Nachbildung des legendären Trainwreck™ Express Verstärkers. Trainwrecks™ sind in der Tradition britischer Verstärker aus den 60er und 70er Jahren verwurzelt und berühmt für ihre schnelle Tonabnehmeransprache und ihre außergewöhnliche Dynamik, die von chimärenartigen „Vox“-Reinigungen bis hin zu einem hochfliegenden „Plexi“-Overdrive reicht. Um die harmonische Komplexität der Trainwreck™-Verstärker in einer Stompbox so genau wie möglich nachzubilden, haben wir uns auf die Suche nach einem „echten“ Trainwreck™ Express gemacht, um ihn auf seine Klangtreue hin zu vergleichen, und wir haben langjährige Trainwreck™-Besitzer um Rat gefragt, die uns Aufnahmen und Feedback zu ihren Trainwrecks™ im Vergleich zu unserem T Drive-Prototyp zur Verfügung stellten. Unser Bestreben, das akkurateste „Wreck-in-a-box“ zu schaffen, hat zum T Drive geführt, einem Pedal mit der Dynamik, der harmonischen Komplexität und den „stimmhaften“ Obertönen, die an den Verstärker erinnern, von dem es inspiriert wurde.

The T Drive is a sonic recreation of the legendary Trainwreck™ Express amplifier. Rooted in the tradition of British amps from the 60's & 70's Trainwrecks™ are famous for their fast pick response and their exceptional dynamics from chimey "Vox" style cleans, to a soaring "Plexi" overdrive. To most accurately recreate the harmonic complexity of the Trainwreck™ amps in a stompbox, we took painstaking measures find a "real deal" Trainwreck™ Express to compare for sonic accuracy & consulted longtime Trainwreck™ owners for guidance, providing us with recordings & feedback A/B-ing their Trainwrecks™ against our T Drive prototype. Our quest to create the the most accurate "Wreck-in-a-box" has result in the T Drive, a pedal with the dynamics, harmoic complexity, and "voice-like" overtones reminiscent of the amp it was inspired by.
