With the worldwide success of the THROTTLE BOX™ overdrive, we saw potential for an even more powerful version that included our classic Five-Band Graphic Equalizer. With the added shaping power the on-board Five Band EQ creates the THROTTLE BOX EQ can go anywhere you want to take it stylistically. The middle range of the GAIN control delivers tight, stinging overdrive that–depending on whether you choose LO or HI GAIN Modes–can cover everything from Blues to Modern Metal with plenty of attitude and an urgent percussive nature. Cranking things up into the upper one-third of the GAIN control in HI unleashes a hot-rod that’s blistering with searing top-end harmonics.

Throttle Box EQ

The THROTTLE BOX™ Distortion serves up all genres of ROCK with cut and aggression, but retains the signature warmth and organic sonic quality found in all our amplifiers. While its main strengths lie in higher-gain sounds, it is quite versatile and it’s lower gain options shouldn’t be overlooked for classic rock or howling blues. The THROTTLE BOX also features a unique MID CUT that scoops out midrange to produce the signature Boogie® “V” EQ-curve that so many artists have employed in our amps to create the world’s heaviest guitar tones!

Throttle Box

Whether it's subtle, touch-sensitive, sticky gain drop or a hot red signal to hit the input stage of your favorite amp ... V-1 gives your sound a serious dose of Tone. The simple four control layout shapes and meters just the right amount of fat, liquid gain produced by the 4 triodes that do the dirty work, snug in your stage-proof bunker, and sure of a street-foot output.

And to ensure the purity of the host amp when it's not lighting things up with the V-1, we use a relay to bypass the guitar through two taps. This means there's no sacrifice of its original tone ... unlike many overdrive devices that compromise tone even when they are turned off.

So whether you're updating the past or broadening your horizons, the super-sensitive, thick and lush gain V-1 will turn any amp into a precise instrument of expression.

V-1 Bottle Rocket

The TONE-BURST™ Boost/Overdrive offers a virtually transparent gain range usually associated with “clean” boost pedals. However, the TONE-BURST has enough gain to boost your guitar to the threshold of clip and slightly beyond, making it far more useful for a variety of applications. It’s incredibly powerful for adding boost, drive and/or EQ to any guitar and amp combination. Whether using it as a utility to boost the output of single coils to match a humbucker or as a subtle overdrive when a standard overdrive may be too much, the TONE-BURST is an incredibly useful and expressive pedal that makes the best things sound even better!
