DOD VGS50 Valve Guitar System Offers Real Tube
Tones
 January 28, 1999DOD's new VGS50 Valve Guitar System puts both real tube tones
and flexible multi-effects processing in an affordable floor-controlled package.
The VGS50 utilizes a high-voltage 12AX7 tube to provide four warm analog distortions
(Saturated Valve, Clean Valve, Blues Valve and Classic Combo), in addition to
the processor's four solid-state distortions (Overdrive, Grunge(TM), American
Stack and British Stack). The VGS50 also boasts a total of 18 effects, with
up to seven available at once. Chorus, Flange, Delay, Reverb, Ring Modulator,
Pixillator, Pitch Bend, Pitch-shifter, Tremolo, EQ, Noise Gate, Phaser, Detune,
Envelope Phase and Envelope Flange are all on independent buttons for quick
adjustments, while a large rotary knob makes effect parameter editing extremely
intuitive. Furthermore, a built-in expression pedal permits real-time control
of nine different parameters, such as Analog Wah, Pitch Bend and Volume.
DOD's "Learn-a-Lick" feature allows up to 10 seconds of a CD or cassette
to be sampled then slowed down-with no change in pitch-to make learning licks
and solos a snap.
The suggested U.S. retail price on the DOD VGS50 is $299.95. For more information, visit DOD at http://www.dod.com/ |
