DISC VOX Tone Garage Straight 6 Drive Guitar Pedal

Full Description

Vox's newly-developed Hi-Volt technology means the 12AX7 vacuum tube can operate at 200V while still running on batteries. The circuit is discrete but works at 20V, high voltage compared with other effects. Vacuum tubes are generally considered big in relation to today's usual components, but VOX were able to take this technology and still keep the Straight 6 Drive small enough to fit snugly on your pedalboard. The Straight 6's gain control changes the tonal character in a more subtle way than simply changing the amplitude. From zero to max, you'll find an array of highly usable and natural overdrive tones.
