Vintage Analog Guitar Tone from TC
Simplicity, great sound, and timeless design make up the holy trinity of the VPD1 Vintage Pre Drive Pedal from t.c. electronic. 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.

The t.c. electronic 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. t.c. electronic 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 only get from a tube amp with the master volume turned all the way up.

The t.c. electronic VPD1 would serve as an excellent companion for the new G-System from t.c. 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. VPD1 features "Drive", "Level", "Tone" and "Boost" knobs as well as individual "On" and "Boost" footswitches. Also included are the Top and Mid boost emphasis filters.


tc electronic VPD1 Features:
  • Remote Control Connection - seamless integration with G-System.
  • Boost - when activated the drive channel is driven harder giving more overdrive.
  • Flat / Top Boost / Mid Boost - selector.
  • Boost Channel switch.
  • Drive - sets amount of drive on the drive channel.
  • Level - Sets the Output level of the pedal when active.
  • Bass - Bass attenuation for the Boost channel.
  • SPK SIM - Speaker Simulation - The filter simulates the frequency response of a vintage-style guitar speaker.
  • Tone - Use the Tone control to attenuate high-end frequencies. The Tone control operates on both channels.
  • Boost LED - Indicates when VPD1 is in Boost mode.
  • On LED - Indicates when VPD1 is active.

Pedals like the VPD1 became a standard in the industry and the preferred choice of many guitarists around the world.



Customer Reviews
VPD1  
by Steve Sledge from Hamburg, Germany, January 10, 2006

“Hi pedal freaks,

you will enjoy this wonderful sounding pedal. beside it's oustanding rock solid and simply beautiful construction, it does sound like a real valve amp.
It's almost sounding like an overdriven VOX AC30.
You can achieve the lowest distortion and then increasing the level of your guitar, it gently sweep over in the nice edge of the typical class A valve...” Read More
