With the 2nd Valvenergy series, VOX moves from amp emulation to a family of effects designed to maximize the potential of your signal chain. The Power Burst serves as the booster of the quartet, utilizing Nutube technology to deliver compression, harmonic richness, and the "tube" feel in a modern and reliable format.
From the knowledgeable amateur to the pro guitarist, the Power Burst suits anyone looking for a musical and versatile boost. It excels in blues, rock, pop, and classic rock styles, both in studio and live settings. Place it at the start of the chain to awaken single coils, in front of an overdrive to thicken a lead, or directly into a tube amp to make it sing.
A streamlined interface to get straight to the point: a single BOOST potentiometer and a 3-position mini selector - Treble (brightness and bite), Natural (transparent boost with tube grain), and Middle (midrange emphasis for solos). The buffered bypass preserves highs and dynamics even with long cables. The 3.5 mm LINK jack allows chaining multiple Valvenergy pedals to switch effects with a single gesture. Input/output are 6.35 mm mono jacks, with a bright waveform display and engraved chassis completing a robust and stage-ready unit.
The Power Burst delivers an organic boost that does more than just increase volume: the Nutube provides natural compression, a warm grain, and sustain that enhances vibratos and bends. In Natural mode, it remains transparent and responsive under the fingers; in Treble mode, it makes a clean tone sparkle when it lacks air; in Middle mode, it thickens the upper mids to carve its path in the mix. Sensitive to playing nuances, it reacts like a small tube preamp stage.
