The Tone Sculptor is the equalizer pedal from the Vox “Valvenergy” series, equipped with a Nutube valve and designed specifically for use on electric guitars. Characterized by the particular LED display that shows the signal response to the effect, it consists of 6 frequency bands specially designed on the guitar and a Level slide for the output volume. As with all Valvenergy pedals, the Tone Sculptor recreates valve sounds, giving the typical natural compression of

. With Nutube in the preamp section, increasing the level adds characteristic tube harmonics and compression. Choose 100Hz/250Hz/570Hz/800Hz/2.2kHz/5.6kHz frequency bands designed for intuitive tone shaping. To facilitate active tone shaping, the frequency bands are set to be more effective at expanding the Q amplitude than a typical graphic equalizer. It's easy to use for going from backing to solo, as well as for general adjustments. The inclusion of the Nutube in the preamp provides musical distortion when the level is increased. The absence of a central click is deliberately designed for easy and precise adjustment

Lower the low frequencies and increase the higher ones for a clean-toned arpeggio, ensuring that each string sounds differently. Boost the mids to make it easier to articulate the soli, or set them sharply to create a sharp sound in heavy plays. The versatility allows for different sound options

From 100Hz to 5.6kHz: ±10dB adjustment for each parameter.

The Valvenergy series has been welcomed as a series of pedals that offers the response of a tube amplifier, and now four new models are added to the range.

All models are equipped with next-generation Nutube tubes and include a booster (Power Burst), a valve compressor (Smooth Impact), an overdrive (Fuel Injector) and a graphic equalizer (Tone Sculptor); a complete set of effects that are a must for guitarists. The pedals are designed to take advantage of all the features of guitars, effects pedals and combined amplifiers before and after the pedal, and are simple, natural pedals that you will never get bored of

Newly designed buffer circuit To

exploit the full potential of Nutube, a high-quality buffer was essential for the initial phase, which acts as a primary entry point of the guitar. As a result, Vox has designed a dedicated buffer circuit to meet this requirement. When the effects are turned off, the Nutube works like a bypass, providing a natural response and a feeling of lightness similar to that experienced by connecting directly to the amplifier. With the effects activated, the characteristics of the buffer are synergized with the distinctive compression of Nutube, creating a fluid and natural playing experience, with nuances

Sound-inspired engraved design

The top panel of the new chassis features an engraved design inspired by the unique sound of each effect pedal. The visual appeal of an effect pedal on a pedalboard is a crucial consideration when choosing your instruments. The organic design of the Valvenergy series is able to improve the overall aesthetics of your pedalboard with a fresh and distinctive touch
