Darkglass Vintage Ultra V2 AUX Pedal Overview
The Ultra adds a four-band equalizer and a dedicated foot switch to engage the overdrive section independently. Master volume controls the overall unit level, while a three-way toggle switch gives even more control for each mid-range section.
Classic Tone, Absolute Control
With a total of 6 different mid frequencies at your disposal, the pedal allows you to create and tailor your tone to perfection. From a warm, punchy clean preamp to the fuzzier bass tones of yesteryear and everything in between, the Vintage Ultra V2 AUX is a classic bass-tone crafting machine.
The frequency response from a loaded speaker cabinet is a huge part of the tone of modern music production for achieving big, natural tones out of instruments, as the raw, distorted direct signal from pre-amplifiers and pedals etc. often sound fizzy and lifeless without one. Impulse Response (IR) cabinet emulation has become extremely popular in studio and live production in recent times, to uncompromisingly replicate the benefits of real speakers (sonic-size and presence of a full-rig), without any of the drawbacks: having an acoustically treated room (or very unhappy neighbours due to the volume), carrying bulky cabinets and/or setting up expensive microphones.
