V-30 is a tube based Distortion effect for electric guitars with 3 channels. Each of the channels has its own distinct design of distortion circuit, which allows to combine various tones.
CRUNCH Channel – wide dynamic range, bright tone.
LEAD Channel – dynamic and natural sounding “high gain” styled distortion.
HI-GAIN Channel – non standard distortion circuit which produces two times more gain. Such a design makes it possible to achieve a thicker distortion tone, with tight lows.
V-30 comes in two versions:
V-30SE has a 6 position switch that adjusts the way filters and tubes work.
V-30L comes with a BOOST knob which adds gain and acts as a passive high pass filter before the gain stage.
This pedal offers multiple types of distortion in one compact analogue unit.
