Fat and Clean Overdrive
Modeled after four separate amplifiers, the Vertex Ultraphonix MK II Overdrive will add an incredibly unique and memorable character to your tone. Built with 100% analog circuitry and mechanical true bypass, this D-style drive easily re-creates the legendary fat overdrive, note bloom, and harmonic overtones produced by an ultra-rare American boutique amplifier. When we demo'd the Ultraphonix MK II at Sweetwater, we especially loved the way it drove the amp but didn't lose any clarity. With just Master Volume, Level, and midrange Filter controls, you have access to an incredible variety of tones from all genres, and the MK II adds a Ratio control for striking the ideal balance between your dry and dirty signals. Experience a truly smooth, creamy overdrive for yourself with the Vertex Effects Ultraphonix MK II Overdrive.

Versatile controls shape your tone
To help you create your ultimate tone, the Ultraphonix MK II has extra tone-shaping controls that include Master, Ratio, Volume, Accent, and Tone. The onboard preamp is controlled by the Volume control. Set the volume at noon, and you’ll enjoy classic British sizzle. The Ratio knob blends your distorted signal with the clean signal, while the Filter knob accentuates upper-mids from 800Hz to 1.6kHz. Once you get the perfect mix of saturation and drive, use the Master control to set your final level. You may be able to control the final volume, but this pedal sounds wide open at all volume levels.
