INTRODUCTION

The new VPD1, is an all-analog vintage pre-drive pedal capable of producing
vintage tube style guitar tones. Based on TC's characteristic guitar pedal
design, VPD1 features a drive section and an additional boost section with a
resonance filter that allows for emphasizing treble or mid frequencies when the
boost is activated. Furthermore a speaker simulation filter allows for excellent
sound also in direct recording setups.

VPD1 differs from a traditional drive pedal by covering the full range guitar
signal, and it is perfect for reproducing those warm driven vintage tones that
you can normally get from a tube amp with the master volume turned all the
way up. 

Simplicity, great sound, and timeless design make up the holy trinity of the
VPD1 vintage pre-drive pedal. This pedal is all about bringing out the best in
your favorite guitar/amp setup without any unwanted coloring of tone or quality-
compromising add-ons. VPD1 would therefore serve as an excellent companion
for the G-System from TC Electronic. The basic drive section delivers a
distinguished vintage overdrive allowing every characteristic of your instrument
to shine through. When you kick in the boost section, you get a saturated lead
sound with plenty of gain and sustain. Additional features on the boost section
are the Top and Mid boost emphasis filters that really let your tone cut through.
