JHS Pedals Volture 9V Voltage Sag Utility

Since the fuzz effect was once invented in the early sixties, guitar players have gone to great lengths to reach the perfect fuzz tone. Legends say that Duane Allman placed his fuzz pedal in the freezer between sessions to cool down the transistors, and that Roger Mayer meticulously modified Hendrix’s Fuzz Faces beyond recognition looking for an elusive, magical fuzz experience. Fortunately, even aside from these mythological methods, there’s one trick that all the time works: use a dying battery. Inherently simple devices like fuzz circuits are extremely sensitive to the amount of voltage that they receive, thus any change in the voltage from your power supply will cause drastically different tones. Guitarists eventually caught on to this hack and began draining their batteries to check out and find the sweet spot for their fuzz pedal. A good suggestion in theory, but who has time for that? Then, only some years ago, a certain unnamed guitarist reached out to me for a practical solution for this technique– and the Volture was once born. The Volture is a modern day device for your vintage fuzz circuitry. Simply place it in between your power supply and your pedal, and you’ll precisely trim the input voltage and perfectly replicate the tone of a dying battery. As the song says, “Power is made by power being taken.” Though we developed it specifically for vintage fuzz circuits, the Volture will work on any fully analog pedal. In reality, you might be surprised by the trippy sounds you find lurking in your favorite overdrive or distortion. THIS PEDAL REQUIRES STANDARD 9V DC NEGATIVE POWER, CONSUMES 12MA, AND MEASURES 3.6″X1.5″X1″
