Vox Silk Drive Valvenergy

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;">The Silk Drive is VOX's "Valvenergy" series overdrive pedal that reproduces the legendary sound of a boutique amplifier in a compact format equipped with a Nutube vacuum tube. It features Gain, Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, and Bright controls, and thanks to its 3 operating modes (STANDARD, PREAMP, CAB-SIM), it allows guitarists to connect the pedal to an amplifier or directly to a mixer or audio interface, making it suitable for any situation, from live performances to recording sessions, live streaming to online lessons.</h1><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="664" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/verjUbjEvF4" title="YouTube video player" width="1180"></iframe></center><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In addition to developing traditional tube amplifiers, VOX is evolving by introducing the Valvenergy pedal line, which uses the next-generation <strong>Nutube</strong> tube, providing the response and harmonic distortion of some of the most popular tube amplifiers in three different modes: standard, preamp, and CAB-SIM.</p><h2>VOX VALVENERGY SILK DRIVE OPERATING MODES</h2><p><strong>STANDARD:</strong> The pedal outputs an instrument signal. Connect it to your guitar amplifier's input just like you would a conventional pedal.<br /><strong>PREAMP:</strong> The pedal outputs a line-level signal. Connect it to the amplifier's return or to the power amplifier's input.<br /><strong>CAB-SIM:</strong> The pedal outputs a FULL RANGE line-level signal with an analog cabinet simulator, meaning "full range." Ideal for connecting directly to a P.A., a DAW, or an active full-range speaker, achieving a "ready" sound that covers all frequencies, thereby avoiding unnecessary signal processing and conversions.</p><p>The VALVENERGY series consists of all-analog circuits with a 9V power supply internally boosted to 15V. This allows for greater volume and headroom and provides an even more dynamic sound. Two pedals can be chained together with a standard 1/8" stereo cable through each pedal's CH-SW jack. This allows you to activate one pedal while bypassing the other, using the system as if you were switching between channels on a guitar amplifier. Using a 1/8" stereo Y-cable, you can connect three pedals. VALVENERGY pedals feature a high-contrast OLED display that shows an oscilloscope, a visual indication of how the waveform is affected by the knob settings.</p><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="664" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q9cNce7my2c" title="YouTube video player" width="1180"></iframe></center><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>VOX VALVENERGY SILK DRIVE CONTROLS</h2><p><strong>Gain:</strong> Adjusts the amount of distortion.<br /><strong>Volume:</strong> Sets the output volume.<br /><strong>Treble:</strong> Adjusts the high-frequency range. Turning the knob left results in a softer tone, while turning it right yields a bright and crystal-clear tone.<br /><strong>Middle:</strong> Adjusts the mid-frequency range. Turning the knob right results in a rich mid-range.<br /><strong>Bass:</strong> Adjusts the low-frequency range. Turning the knob left results in a thinner, lighter tone, while turning it right results in a warm, heavy sound.<br /><strong>Bright:</strong> Is placed before the distortion and provides a different distortion character in each switch position.</p><h2>VOX VALVENERGY SILK DRIVE SPECIFICATIONS</h2><p><strong>Inputs/Outputs:</strong> INPUT jack, OUTPUT jack, DC9V jack, LINK jack<br /><strong>Power Supply:</strong> 1 x 9V alkaline battery or 9V center negative AC adaptor<br /><strong>Current Consumption:</strong> 95 mA<br /><strong>Battery Life:</strong> 2 h with alkaline battery<br /><strong>Dimensions:</strong> Width 72 mm x Depth 120 mm x Height 55 mm<br /><strong>Weight:</strong> 350 g</p><p>&nbsp;</p><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="664" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sJzMKoB7EyI" title="YouTube video player" width="1180"></iframe></center>
