When it comes to Continuum cleans or searing Blues lead tones, the Vertex Effects Steel String MKII — based on serial #001 of a legendary six-figure Steel String Singer amplifier— is an amazing tone-shaper and mild overdrive in an über compact, pedalboard friendly, size.  Whether you're hitting the front end of your favorite tube amp to give it a little more D-Style character or breathing a little more life into a solid state or backline amplifier, the Steel String MKII is a must for those that revere the classic Steel String amplifier clean tone.  Short of having a $250,000 SSS amplifier in your arsenal, the Steel String MKII is the next best thing!

Steel String mk II

The Ultraphonix Overdrive is designed to re-create the overdrive produced by a Dumble™ Overdrive Special amplifier. Four Overdrive Specials were used in the voicing and calibration of the Ultraphonix, each amp ranging in origin from the years 1970-1990. Being modeled after four different generations, the Ultraphonix accurately captures the character of the legendary Dumble™ amplifier, regardless of the minute and more apparent differences in the amp from year to year. The Ultraphonix is more than able to provide the D*style overdrive in front of any clean amp platform. Engage the Ultraphonix in tandem with another overdrive pedal or in front of a broken-up amp to really cut through a mix with a huge lead tone or thundering rhythm tone.

Buffer Interface

THIS PEDAL WILL TRANSFORM YOUR GUITAR RIG

Don't let the Vertex Boost MKII's name fool you — it's much more than a mere boost. Make no mistake, this multifunction guitar pedal can function as a gain booster, with +16dB of ultra-transparent gain that can either drive your amp into saturation or give your solos a squeaky-clean level bump, depending on where you choose to deploy it. Able to accommodate both line- and instrument-level signals, the Boost MKII also includes ultra-linear input/output buffers that are guaranteed to elevate the sound of your entire rig. This stompbox's buffers can propel a typical mid-level rig into pro-level territory with zero tonal coloration. And if your rig is already 99% of the way there, the Boost MKII will deliver that elusive missing 1%. Beyond that, the Boost MKII's insert jack enables you to adjust your volume via an external treadle-style pedal while keeping your guitar's signal completely isolated — it's like plugging straight into your amp. Boasting a compact enclosure that's 33% slimmer than its predecessor, the Vertex Boost MKII belongs on every tone-obsessed guitarist's pedalboard.
