All user reviews for the Vox Over The Top Boost

Here is a great little pedals worthy of the name that perfectly reproduces the sound of the old Vox amp. This beautiful box every Chrome works with a lamp 12AU7 (ECC82).

Volume

EQ
Cut

and a true bypass to bypass the rules for the art.

UTILIZATION

One branch, turn 2-button and go.
The rglages allow a large variety of sound, ds light to crunch.
Cut to round instead, gives you the sound to bring out the treble .... gain when he
gives a crunch sound old, as when pushing an old amp back.
I do not speak of distortion .... but really a saturation Pete recalling the era of the great Whoo.

a small knob allows you to bypass the EQ ... can be played on its very easy.

SOUND QUALITY

I play with a TI 52 and paul studio with an amp Valvstate 8080 (yes I know, I have to change the amp, a vox or even such a small head Soldano).
The sound is very round, fat and much crunch. For the porn actress, go your way, this is primarily vintage pedals with a big V.
The lamp is really effective in bringing the warmth of the sound we are trying to have taken everything.

In effects loop, I took out a anthiquit, my old digitech RP1, which worked wonders (well) with all its effects numrique (chorus, delay, reverb, flange).

I put a little time rgler chain effect, but now I do all the playing jump blues rock ... very seventhy's.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks,
And I take mo, foot, plus the top boost ... battery operated, with a lamp is surprising is not it ....
Excellent pedals, solid beautiful effective .....; the top is the lamp that shines a bright blue .... trs fun of sne ...
I assay in the studio yesterday and really, the sound is standard.

It's a small investment that I do it again with eyes closed

This is a pedal for crunch / overdrive lamp, which simulates in fact the Top Boost channel of an AC30.
That's a pretty big pedal, which has a full equalizer (unlike some other kind of).

It also works well in battery power supply.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use!
We quickly realized the manner with which ragissent knobs.
And despite the lack of true manual, it takes very fast its brands.

Personally, having never availing oneself of Vox lamps, I were not accustomed to the Cut, which increases the cut but no frquence medium.
This is unlike other pedals, but far from being embarrassing, I think it makes some sounds more accessible.

SOUND QUALITY

Very very effective!

Me, I play a Fender Hot rails rises, and a AD15VT (hybrid lineup vox) and sounds very very good.

No ultra sound distortion, but rather a good warm overdrive, with which we can all play as one remains in the registry vintage (so no big mtal here ...).
Going up the gain of the amplifier, we allow the pedal to go further into distortion, always with a grain very particular.
The sound was really clean grain vox, very puissant.Il may be a little dirty in the best sense as very clear, the rglages allow very many possibilities. I have not tried any yet but I will say that for everything that is rock has spent the years 70-80 as a letter in the mail (for things such acdc or guns and roses is rather marshall sound thing, but it passes very well too).
The volume knob is actually a continuation of knob gain.

The pros: power
versatility (in a register very vintage, and although the sound is still quite typ)
Complete equalization
The lamp (which is not only for the decor but that adds a real warmth to the sound)


Cons: Price
The fact that the knobs can be a little lacking (and I mean a little) responsiveness.
For me this is not one, but do not expect a completely transparent pedal. Even in bypass, the sound is colored (hotter!).

I put 10 because despite these - this pedal is very well made and the sound is excellent, very typ but still very good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a very short time, but this pedal fully satisfy me.
Even low volume we feel the potential.
Before that I used the models of the AD15VT, which taient very good too, but it's really very upscale and means.

BMOL can be a little on price, but do not buy the original price (210 euros). That is explained by the fact that making a pedal like this is expensive.
But some sites sell it around 170 euros (I got it used).
For my part, I think it's quite expensive, but I would do this investment without hesitating, the sound is really worth.
