VOX Announces Tone Garage Series of Tube/Analog Pedals

—Neweffects pedals feature all-analog circuitry—

Summer NAMM, NASHVILLE, TN, July 11th, 2013 — VOX Amplification has added the Tone Garage series of guitar pedals to its lineup. The series is comprised of five effects units that feature all-analog circuitry. TheFlat 4 Boost,the V8 Distortion, and theStraight 6 Drive all feature a carefully-matched, high voltage VOX 12AX7 tube. The Flat 4 Boost also incorporates a passive Baxandall EQ circuit. The Double Deca Analog Delay features three V3205 Bucket Brigade chips, and the Trike Fuzz octave/fuzz pedalfeatures specially-selected, high-quality diodes.Vox engineers named the series “Tone Garage” for its boutique-inspired, hot-rodded and modded designs that deliver classic and unique tones not found elsewhere.

The pedals’ discrete circuitry incorporates individual transistors, resistors, capacitors, and coils.Specially-created for three of the pedals in this series is a new VOX vacuum tube circuit technology called “Hi-Volt,” which delivers high voltage (200V) to a 12AX7 vacuum tube using the included 6x AA batteries or an optional DC9V adaptor (fairly unique to a high voltage pedal, ToneGarage pedals can run on most commonly-foundDC9V power supplies). The result is highly dynamic and responsive toneswith the feel and dynamic range players associate withvacuum tube amps.

All five pedals are equipped with a convenient toggle switchthat’s designed to alter the EQ for additional sonic options, and each is housed in a sturdy aluminum die cast body to withstand the rigors of the road. Battery life is approximately 7 hours with 6 x AA batteries.
