Vox Expands Cooltron Tube Pedal Series
Over The Top Boost And Snake Charmer Compressor pedals launched 15/11/05
OVER THE TOP FOR THAT AC30 SOUND |
As with all pedals in the Cooltron series, these new stompboxes use a 12AU7 (ECC82) preamp tube to deliver the type of tone that was previously unattainable from a battery-powered unit. The revolutionary Cooltron technology provides true tube sonic performance at a very low voltage and at a reduced heater current, allowing for convenient battery-powered operation.
Over The Top Boost
The Over The Top Boost incorporates the top boost channel of a VOX AC30 into a stompbox for use as a booster pedal to drive the input of an amp, or for overdrive from the pedal itself. The Treble control offers a variety of tone shaping possibilities from cutting attack to smooth and liquid while the Bass control can be used to add low-end girth or warm, round smoothness. A Cut control can add or remove higher frequencies at the turn of a knob, and varying the overall gain of the pedal takes guitarists from bluesy and mellow to fat and saturated. The Standard/Custom switch is used to make the EQ very interactive in Standard mode (as found in a traditional AC30), or have it behave less interactively (as in the AC30 Hand Wired and AC30 Custom Classic) in Custom mode.
 CHARM YOUR SNAKE |
Snake Charmer Compressor
The Snake Charmer Compressor's warm tube compression circuitry provides smoothing tone control for evening out peaks and spikes, while maintaining overall gain consistency. A High/Low Switch lets you choose between two overall levels of ratio. Gain reduction controls include attack and release. A Gain Reduction Indicator gives the user visual cues of the results of their settings. The Snake Charmer also features a High-End Emphasis control for fine-tuning the amount of compression applied to the top end of the guitar signal.
Each COOLTRON pedal utilizes four AA batteries (providing 16 hours of operation) and measures 6.63" (W) x 6.12" (H) x 2.52" (D). An optional 9V AC adapter is available.
The VOX Snake Charmer Compressor and Over The Top Boost are currently available, each with an MSRP of $300.
