Behringer VT999 Vintage Tube Monster Classic Tube Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

Description

The Behringer VT999 Vintage Tube Monster Overdrive Pedal brings real tube tone to your pedalboard. With a genuine 12AX7 preamp tube, this stompbox produces anything from warm, bluesy tube overdrive to heavy distortion tones. The 12AX7 imparts the VT999 with natural compression and rich, complex harmonics just like a tube amp. Dial in as much gain as you want with independent overdrive and master volume controls. Unlike solid-state pedals, the VT999 responds like a real tube amp, cleaning up beautifully when you roll back your guitar´s volume knob.

Dial in Vintage Tube Warmth or Heavy Distortion

Thanks to the 12AX7 preamp tube, the VT999 can conjure up a wide range of overdriven tones. Lower the gain and bring up the master volume to generate warm, even-order harmonics for bluesy tube breakup. Crank the gain knob for a roaring distortion with singing sustain and controllable feedback. The separate overdrive and master volume knobs allow you to push the 12AX7 tube as hard as you want without overloading your amp. Just set the overdrive to your desired level of grit and use the master to boost the overall output.

Noise Gate Keeps Your Signal Quiet

The last thing you want mingling with your cranked tube tones is noise. The VT999 combats hiss with its integrated, switchable noise gate. It gently squelches any unwanted noise when you´re not playing. Set the threshold control to only mute noise during pauses in your playing. You get tube tone without the tube hiss.

Shape Your Sound with 3-Band EQ

Tailor your tube overdrive tones with the VT999´s 3-band EQ. Boost treble to cut through a mix or add sizzle to your leads. Dial back the highs for a smoother, darker sound. Scoop mids to go from bluesy and warm to modern and aggressive. Boost lows to make your guitar fill out a mix or increase the thump. The EQ offers immense tonal flexibility.

True Bypass for Transparent Tone

When disengaged, the VT999 routes your signal through a true bypass circuit that maintains complete signal integrity. You get zero coloration or loss of tone. The VT999 only comes to life when you step on it, giving you authentic tube tone and preserving your straight guitar sound.
