Vox Valvenergy Fuel Injector

Description

<h1 style="text-align: justify;">The Fuel Injector is an overdrive pedal from Vox's "Valvenergy" series, featuring a Nutube vacuum tube. Characterized by a distinctive LED display that shows the signal response on the effect, it has Drive knobs to adjust the amount of distortion, Tone to adjust the high-frequency content, Level for output volume, and 2 usage modes: Natural for a standard response and Fat for a fuller sound. As with all Valvenergy pedals, the Fuel Injector recreates tube sounds, delivering the typical natural compression of a tube amp.</h1><h2 style="text-align: center;">Watch Giovanni Buttitta's demo video of Vox Valvenergy 2 pedals</h2><center><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="695" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0uEfeKBP1Ew" title="Vox | I pedali Valvenergy 2 - demo by Giovanni Buttitta" width="1236"></iframe></center><center>&nbsp;</center><center><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="695" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w6ns0Knb2lU" title="Vox | I pedali effetto della serie Valvenergy 2" width="927"></iframe></center><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Overview of the Valvenergy Fuel Injector by Vox</h2><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>FUEL INJECTOR</strong> offers distinctive overdrive with rich harmonics and a natural sense of compression and bite. Developed by amplifier manufacturer VOX, this overdrive pedal stands out for its amp-like distortion, in contrast to typical pedal distortions. Unlike effects that color the tone like preamp-style pedals, the FUEL INJECTOR retains its natural characteristics while distorting through Nutube, providing a tone that sounds as if the connected amplifier were pushed into even greater distortion. Compared to many drive pedals, including TS-style ones, it features abundant harmonic components and a pronounced compression characteristic reminiscent of a tube amplifier. The harmonic richness created by the multi-stage Nutube distortion, along with the unique bias variations of the tubes, produces a resonant tone, capturing the essence of an amplifier.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This feature allows for a pleasant drive sound when using this pedal with a clean amp setting. The FUEL INJECTOR adds "resilience" to the sound, gracefully increasing gain even during bends. Whether driving a clean amplifier with this pedal or using it as a booster for a slightly crunchy amp, it will undoubtedly prove powerful and effective.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>DRIVE</strong>: Adjusts the amount of distortion.<br /><strong>TONE</strong>: Adjusts the high-frequency content.<br /><strong>LEVEL</strong>: Controls the output volume.<br /><strong>Switch</strong>: Allows selection between two modes.<br /><strong>NATURAL</strong>: The standard mode.<br /><strong>FAT</strong>: Offers a thicker tone, ideal when paired with single-coil pickups.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Valvenergy series has been well-received as a line of pedals that delivers the response of a tube amplifier, and now four new models join the range.<br />All models feature new-generation Nutube tubes and include a booster (Power Burst), a tube compressor (Smooth Impact), an overdrive (Fuel Injector), and a graphic equalizer (Tone Sculptor); a comprehensive series of effects that are a must-have for guitarists. The pedals are designed to leverage all the characteristics of guitars, effects pedals, and amplifiers combined before and after the pedal, and are simple, natural pedals that you never tire of.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Watch the video of the Valvenergy Fuel Injector by Vox!</h2><center><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="695" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3NpYdtOmha4" title="Vox | Valvenergy Fuel Injector" width="1236"></iframe></center><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Newly Developed Buffer Circuit</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">To fully harness the potential of Nutube, a high-quality buffer for the initial stage, serving as the primary guitar input point, was essential. Consequently, Vox designed a dedicated buffer circuit to meet this requirement. When effects are off, the Nutube functions as a bypass, providing a natural response and a light feel similar to plugging directly into an amplifier. With effects on, the buffer's characteristics synergize with Nutube's distinctive compression, resulting in a smooth and natural playing experience with nuances that enhance performance.</p><h2>Sound-Inspired Engraved Design</h2><p style="text-align: justify;">The top panel of the new chassis features an engraved design inspired by the unique sound of each effect pedal. The visual appeal of an effect pedal on a pedalboard is a crucial consideration when choosing your tools. The organic design of the Valvenergy series can enhance the overall aesthetic of your pedalboard with a fresh and distinctive touch.</p><h2>Specifications of the Valvenergy Fuel Injector by Vox</h2><p><strong>Input/Output Terminals</strong>: INPUT terminal (mono jack), OUTPUT terminal (mono jack), DC.9V terminal.<br /><strong>Power Supply</strong>: 9V alkaline batteries (6LF22/6LR62) or 9V DC AC adapter (both sold separately).<br /><strong>Dimensions (W x D x H):</strong> 72 mm x 120 mm x 55 mm (retracted plug/ VE-TS H:54 mm)<br /><strong>Weight</strong>: 300 g (excluding batteries)<br /><strong>Accessories (sold separately)</strong>: KA181 AC adapter (9V)</p>
