Vox Cutting Edge Valvenergy Distortion Pedal

Description

Vox Cutting Edge | Valvenergy Valve Distortion Pedal

The Vox Valvenergy Cutting Edge valve distortion pedal offers aggressive saturated and precise modern metal tones in a compact pedal format, powered by Nutube for warm and responsive amp-like tones.

Inspired by the meticulous and tight tones heard on modern metal records, the Cutting Edge goes beyond the amp-in-a-box category to offer a truly flexible valve distortion pedal. The all-analog signal path and Nutube allow for genuine overdrive and distortion tones with the feel of a real tube amp, while internally boosted voltage gives greater headroom and dynamics.

Three output modes allow you to use this as a standard pedal, a line-level preamp, and a direct amp-sim using the built-in analog cabinet simulator. Use STANDARD mode with your normal guitar rig to totally transform your amp. Or utilise the PREAMP or CAB-SIM mode while recording directly into your audio interface. In each mode, the all-analog design and active EQ allow you to perfectly dial in the sound you need.

The Channel Link feature allows you to chain two or more Valvenergy pedals together, through the Link jack of each pedal. Using a with a standard 1/8” stereo cable will link 2 pedals, while using a stereo 1/8” splitter will link 3 or 4 pedals. This allows you to turn one pedal on while bypassing the others. It’s as if you were switching between channels of a guitar amp.

These pedals are equipped with a high-contrast OLED oscilloscope display. This provides a visual indication of how the waveform is affected by the knob settings of the mode you are currently using.

What is Nutube?

Nutube is a new vacuum tube technology. Developed by KORG Corporation in conjunction with Noritake Itron Corporation, it’s an application of vacuum fluorescent display technology. Like a conventional vacuum tube, a Nutube has an anode grid filament structure and operates as a complete triode tube. It provides the same rich overtones and responses that are distinctive of conventional vacuum tubes.
