Vox Valvetronix User Manual

10
DRIVE Control
This sets the DRIVE amount when TREBLE BOOST, TUBE OD, FAT OD or FUZZ
are selected. For the other six (6) stompboxes the exact function of this knob
depends on the effect. For specific details please refer to the table that follows.
LEVEL Control
This knob enables you to adjust the overall level of COMP, TREBLE BOOST,
TUBE OD, FAT OD and FUZZ. It is “disconnected” (does nothing!) on VOX WAH.
See the table for what it does on the other five pedal models.
3. PREAMP SECTION
As the title of this section suggests (imagine that!?), this is the “preamp” control section of
your Valvetronix combo. And, in keeping with what it is supposed to be, it looks and acts
exactly like (wait for it)...an amp! Plus, in true VOX tradition, it boasts our instantly recog-
nizable, “chicken-head” (pointer) knobs...no soft touch, control pads or up and down cur-
sors have been allowed to invade this sacred, tone shaping area. C’mon, this is a guitar
amp, not a computer game!
AMP TYPE Selector Switch
This allows you to select any one of our sixteen (16), stunningly accurate amp
models - each of which is based on an accepted all-tube classic, including the leg-
endary VOX AC30TBX. As already mentioned in the intro to this manual, each
model not only replicates the exact gain and tonal characteristics of the original
amp’s preamp circuit, it also reconfigures the all-important power amp stage too -
in terms of both Class (A or A/B) and negative feedback circuit (or lack thereof).
Not only is this a cool feature, to us it’s essential! After all, how can you claim to
have modeled an amp if you’ve just zoned in on the preamp and ignored the
power amp? C’mon! Peanut butter alone (regardless of how good it tastes) does
not a great peanut butter and jelly sandwich make - you need some jelly and
bread too! Never make the mistake of thinking the power stage is not an important
part of any amp - it’s vital, in fact it can make or break it. Anyway...
