Vox Valvenergy Pedals: What Makes Them Special?

[@Singlehand_Music]

Better than 90% of demos of these, I especially liked the inside out tour, cheers 👍

[@usdv]

Thanks for the demo. I've recenty bought Silk Drive and pretty happy with this using as a preamp either simple OD pedal. It gets along with TS and other od pedals very well in my point of view. Great clean tone!

[@poopoo5850]

Thank you for all your hard work much appreciated 👍

[@doogdoogdoogdoogdoogdoog]

This demo is FANTASTIC; thanks so much!

[@khushaggarwalguitar]

Great review man! Appreciate the details

[@tonepoet]

I use the silk drive though a Fromel modded Fender Hot Rod Deluxe as my primary clean channel and it sound blissfully unreal. Very sweet clean sound. Thanks for this (and every) review.

[@frankstetka7206]

Yeah I’m sold on Silk to push any number of things, a little pricy to run in stereo so in reality I want a stereo preamp version like the valvetronix in a desktop or rack with foot pedal but with configurable effects chain like the ancient Digitech 2101 but with the knob per function layout blah blah blah - well in other words I expect to see more fun products and as an electronics hobbyist find this to sound like a dream come true.

[@Nikage23]

Cool! I'm also having Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and considering Silk Drive. You have just blown out my hesitation) Thanks, man

[@rozzgrey801]

I wonder how synthesizers would sound through this? Some synth players put them through guitar amps, and I love the oscilloscope!

[@guitarfanz6747]

Well done. Thank you.

[@Praeterita1976]

The cutting edge's tight knob rolls off the frequency below 100Hz, which makes a big difference for low tuning. Pedal's amazing on preamp mode.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Should have tried it with a baritone. Yeah, it can get really aggressive :)

[@AppeltVortex]

Great demo, thanks!

[@maartenstevens9848]

I liked the electrotest for buffer and current apart from the rest of this nice video. And someone finally tries to look for the tube itself.

[@blackwingsilver9405]

Another amazing video. Thanks a lot!

[@Y2i9xgfrf94Vy4st]

The Big Four 👍👍👍👍

[@blee3621]

Very nice demo! When you use the CAB M do you also use the power amp sim? Loved you AMT V1 demo. When would you choose the Vox Mystic Edge over the AMT V1?

[@MaxSoloMusic]

No, I'm still on the old firmware that doesn't have the power amp sim. I find the Mystic Edge slightly more flexible than V1. It also get's closer to the AC30 sound

[@jacobbockover1628]

Thought of putting the silk drive in the fx loop of my solid state amp

[@duduLocatelliTV]

Did you try It?

[@jacobbockover1628]

@@duduLocatelliTV no but im using another tube base pedal in that way. I find that many are hard to dial in just enough break up on

[@alexmurphy5289]

Such a great reviewer

[@Morpheus2292]

About 10:34, I have always thought that single coil would not be the best for driven sounds, and in particular the neck one. Now, Hendrix and Blackmore would probably demonstrate the opposite. But the main question remains : does this Valvenergy concept realy work well? Demonstrations always look nice. But Max does not hide the fact that if you buy through his links he has an interst in it. So this video is a demonstration, not a critical analysis and I did not find a lot of those. People seem to be very happy with the Silk and also the Cutting edge. Pre-amp and Cab are probably the positions making most sense. If the idea of the Copperhead is to emulate a Marshall, what sense does it realy make to send it into a Vox AC30 in STD mode? I have tried the Copperhead in STD mode through a Roland JC50 (very clean high headroom Amp). The resulting sound was not much convincing to me (compared to other emulators including the Vox Tonelab or the Strymon Iridium). I found it too synthetic/artificial. It seems though that this Marshall sound is one of the most difficult sound to emulate. It would be nice if someone was in a position to make a comparative video with the Copperhead for instance into a very clean Amp, a Power cab, and a PA compared to a real Marshall I guess.

[@Morpheus2292]

We have this but against a Class 5 Marshall : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHuXpqWkpNCKf6c. I suppose it works enough in a no Amp situation.

[@jacobbockover1628]

Those nutubes are very small like chip size. Id love to hear them. Maybe one day they will come in a tube socket adapter if revular tube actually go away. Id like to try putting the silk drive in the loop of a solid state amp at a low volume

[@jounikorhonen9441]

I wonder if, for example Copperhead set at low gain would work with a fuzz or a RAT in front of it?

[@MatthewApsey]

Can you plug headphones directly into these?

[@РодионЩербаков-ч5в]

Добрый день! Большая ли разница между vox Copperhead drive и amt brick m-lead? Что лучше?

[@someoneelse101]

It's a toss between Mystic Edge and Copperhead Drive for me. The latter is kinda passive aggressive if that makes sense

[@radek1cihak]

What I wanted to know is at the last minute. What's which one good for? The one I'm most interested in remains shrouded in mystery. No one knows what Silk is for.

[@MrPavelSV]

Так сколько в итоге Nutube ламп в примочке, в человеческих лампах?)))

[@MrPavelSV]

Нашел. 2 триода вроде как.

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Там один стандартный nutube блок. Не знаю сколько там триодов, но можно почитать datasheet

[@Turbo-D]

i got some valve pedals from vox in the past like the bulldock distortion, not great at all, waching this carefully here never heard of a 6p1 mini tube!? 🧐

[@MaxSoloMusic]

Yeah, I heard the nutube was in fact a clone of some ancient soviet mini tube

[@Turbo-D]

@@MaxSoloMusic 😂 ok i see

[@valueofnothing2487]

Sounds like you are more into metal or rock, so I can't really judge. It all sounds the same - especially through my tribute Bluetooth speaker. I had hopes for tube (nu tube and normal) pedals but they never really took off. I think distortion is more about EQ then the difference between a tube distortion and a diode distortion. I'm still waiting for a good digital solution that's cheap.

Макс, купи уже головки, ключом разводным разбирать, прям кровь из глаз)))

[@clintwhite3021]

Haha your comment translated to English makes me thing I better call the cops on you 😂

[@amercieca]

The tone at 10:34 shocked me... absolutely horrible .. sorry 😱
