NUOVO
|
Con una sezione di boost aggiuntiva, top e mid boost, possibilità di controllo remoto, ed un filtro integrato in grado di simulare un altoparlante vintage, il VPD1 offre molte più opzioni di un semplice overdrive. Questo pedale è stato
progettato per riprodurre l'overdrive dalle timbriche calde che un amplificatore
col volume al massimo è in grado di offrire. Nel percorso attraversato dal segnale all'interno del VPD1, la sezione boost si trova prima della sezione drive, questo significa che il segnale della chitarra non solo avrà un maggior volume, ma sarà anche maggiormente distorto. Questa situazione è l'ideale per cambiare da una situazione di accompagnamento ad una di lead. La funzione di controllo remoto permette al chitarrista di attivare o disattivare il boost anche attraverso il nuovo G-System della T.C. Electronic od altra pedaliera. Inoltre, sono
inclusi interruttori per influire sul boost delle frequenze medio-alte, e
rendere il pedale più versatile. ------------------------------------------------ The VPD1 vintage pre-drive pedal is a lot more than just an overdrive. With the additional boost section, top and mid boost, remote control, and a
vintage-type speaker simulation, VPD1 is a genuinely versatile guitar pedal. T.C Electronic scientists designed the VPD1 to reproduce warm driven
vintage tones that you would normally only get from a tube amp with the master
volume turned all the way up. Simplicity, great sound, and timeless design make up the holy trinity of
the VPD1 vintage pre-drive pedal. This pedal is all about bringing out the best in your favorite guitar/amp
setup without any unwanted coloring of tone or quality-compromising add-ons. VPD1 would therefore serve as an excellent companion for the G-System from
TC Electronic. The basic drive section delivers a distinguished vintage overdrive allowing
every characteristic of your instrument to shine through. When you kick in the boost section, you get a saturated lead sound with
plenty of gain and sustain. Additional features on the boost section are the Top and Mid boost emphasis
filters that let your tone really cut through. VPD1 features a unique circuit, which accurately replicates every group of
components in an original vintage tube amp combo, including the dynamic
interaction that occurs between the components. In addition to the drive functionality, VPD1 actually serves as a small
preamp, ranging sonically from barely audible overdrive to snarling leads - and
beyond. In the VPD1 signal path, the boost section is placed before the drive,
which means that the boosted guitar signal not only sounds louder but also
sounds more overdriven. This makes it ideal for switching from rhythm to lead guitar. The remote function even allows you to switch the VPD1 boost on and off
with the new G-System from TC Electronic, or any other external relay switching
device. For your convenience, T.C Electronic also included top and mid boost
switches for a more flexible sonic exploitation of the VPD1. The VPD1 sports an integrated speaker filter that makes it very useful for
studio sessions and home practice.
The speaker filter, which can be bypassed at a flick of a switch, is based
on the same research as the VPD1 Drive, and underlines the vintage qualities of
the new TC pedal. |
