Vox : Silk Drive Vox

Tube Overdrive/Preamp Pedal with Cabinet Simulation, Active 3-band EQ, and Oscilloscope.

Boutique amps sound amazing, don't they? But let's face it: they can prevent you from spending money on other gear for a good while afterward. Wouldn't it be nice to have a boutique amp in an affordable stompbox format? That's exactly what you get with the Vox Silk Drive overdrive pedal! When you plug it in and turn it up, the Silk Drive provides you with velvety-smooth overdrive tones reminiscent of classic boutique amp makers. With enough experimentation, you can dial in Mayer-esque leads or crunchy riffs with blooming harmonics. A minuscule Nutube provides the Silk Drive's tonal foundation. It gives you all the characteristics of full-sized tubes without the bulk or heat buildup. The Silk Drive also features a 3-band EQ and Bright switch for tone shaping along with standard Gain and Volume controls. So you can see how your signal is being affected by your settings, Vox also included a built-in OLED display with an oscilloscope. Complete with three operating modes and switchable all-analog cab emulation, the Vox Silk Drive is your ticket to a silky-smooth gain sound.
