VOX Announces Tone Garage Series of Tube/Analog Pedals
— New effects pedals feature all-analog circuitry —
Summer NAMM, NASHVILLE, TN, July 11th, 2013 — VOX Amplification has added the Tone
Garage series of guitar pedals to its lineup. The series is comprised of five effects units that
feature all-analog circuitry. The Flat 4 Boost, the V8 Distortion, and the Straight 6 Drive all
feature a carefully-matched, high voltage VOX 12AX7 tube. The Flat 4 Boost also incorporates
a passive Baxandall EQ circuit. The Double Deca Analog Delay features three V3205 Bucket
Brigade chips, and the Trike Fuzz octave/fuzz pedal features specially-selected, high-quality
diodes. Vox engineers named the series “Tone Garage” for its boutique-inspired, hot-rodded
and modded designs that deliver classic and unique tones not found elsewhere.
The pedals’ discrete circuitry incorporates individual transistors, resistors, capacitors, and
coils. Specially-created for three of the pedals in this series is a new VOX vacuum tube circuit
technology called “Hi-Volt,” which delivers high voltage (200V) to a 12AX7 vacuum tube using
the included 6x AA batteries or an optional DC9V adaptor (fairly unique to a high voltage
pedal, Tone Garage pedals can run on most commonly-found DC9V power supplies). The
result is highly dynamic and responsive tones with the feel and dynamic range players
associate with vacuum tube amps.
All five pedals are equipped with a convenient toggle switch that’s designed to alter the EQ for
additional sonic options, and each is housed in a sturdy aluminum die cast body to withstand
the rigors of the road. Battery life is approximately 7 hours with 6 x AA batteries.
