Silk Drive is the VOX overdrive pedal from the “Valvenergy” series that reproduces the legendary sound of a Boutique amplifier in a compact format equipped with a Nutube valve. It has Gain, Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble, Bright controls and, thanks to the 3 STANDARD modes of use, PREAMP, CAB-SIM, allows the guitarist to connect the pedal both to an amp and directly to a mixer or sound card, exploiting it in any situation, from live to recording session, from live streaming to online lessons

In addition to developing traditional tube amplifiers, VOX evolves by presenting the Valvenergy line of pedals that uses the new generation Nutube valve, providing the response and harmonic distortion of some of the most popular tube amplifiers in three different modes: standard, preamp

HOW TO USE THE VOX VALVENERGY SILK DRIVE

STANDARD: the pedal emits an instrument signal. Connect it to the input of your guitar amplifier as when using a conventional pedal.

PREAMP: The pedal emits a line signal. Connect it to the amplifier's return or to the power amplifier's input.

CAB-SIM: the pedal emits a FULL RANGE line signal with an analog cabinet simulator, therefore “full range”. Ideal for connecting directly to a P.A., a DAW or a Full Range active speaker, obtaining a “ready” sound that embraces all frequencies, thus avoiding unnecessary signal

The VALVENERGY series consists of all analog circuits with a supply voltage from 9 V boosted to 15 V internally. This allows for greater volume and headroom and offers an even more dynamic sound. You can chain two pedals together with a standard 1/8” stereo cable through the CH-SW jack on each pedal. This allows you to activate one pedal while bypassing the other using the system as if you were switching from one channel of a guitar amplifier to another. Using a 1/8” stereo cable with Y configuration you can connect three pedals. The VALVENERGY pedals are equipped with a high-contrast OLED display that shows an oscilloscope, a visual indication of how the waveform is affected by the knob settings

VOX VALVENERGY SILK DRIVE Gain CONTROLS

: Adjust the amount of distortion.

Volume: Set the output volume.

Treble: Adjust the high frequency range. Turning the knob to the left gives a softer tone, while to the right a bright and crystalline tone.

Middle: Adjust the mid-frequency range. Turning the knob to the right gives you a rich midrange.

Bass: Adjust the low frequency range. Turning the knob to the left produces a thinner and lighter tone, while turning it to the right gives a warm and heavy sound.
