The Dept. 10 Boost Valve Pedal is a testament to their ingenuity, boasting the title of the world's most advanced valve pedal.At the core of each Dept. 10 pedal, including this Boost Valve Pedal, is an ECC83 triode valve. This valve operates at over 200V internally, enabling the pedal to deliver an organic tone, dynamic range, and break up that sets it apart from the competition. This high voltage operation mirrors the tension voltage found in a valve amp, making these pedals react more like a preamp than a standard pedal.The Boost Valve Pedal is the ultimate high voltage valve boost pedal, combining a Class A gain stage with a natural-sounding passive James-Baxandall EQ. This combination creates a class-leading pedal that's akin to adding two extra hot valve stages to your amp.The pedal's built-in buffer/line driver is perfect for preserving your tone when using long cables or large pedalboards. It's even capable of driving low impedance pedals like many wah-wahs. The Boost Valve Pedal is not just a pedal, it's a versatile tool for any musician. It can function as a valve overdrive or boost pedal into your amp, a valve preamp, a valve recording interface via low latency USB, a valve preamp stage to warm up a digital amp, or even a back-up amp via D.I. out using Cab Rig into a PA. The new Cab Rig simulator technology reproduces the sound and feel of a mic'd up guitar cab in incredible detail. This technology overcomes the shortcomings of IR 'snapshots' and uses state-of-the-art digital processing for an unparalleled audio experience.The Dept. 10 Boost Valve Pedal offers pro connectivity and integration for any setup.
