GUYATONE FLIP VT-X VINTAGE TREMOLO.
All the greatest tube-amp tremolo tones in a single stompbox. The first
offering in the Guyatone Flip series is the VT-X Vintage Tremolo.
Created from painstaking analysis of vintage tube amplifiers, the VT-X
stands up against the best tremolo circuits of yesteryear and in many
ways surpasses them.
Housed in a rugged-yet-portable,
1/16"-thick steel chassis, the VT-X is built to handle a lifetime of
use and abuse. The single, shock-mounted 12AX7WA draws power from an
external 12V DC power adapter, eliminating transformer hum and
grounding problems which can lead to excessive noise levels. Effect LED
indicator and electronic silent switching make the VT-X ideal for live
or studio performance.
Yet where the VT-X truly shines is in
its tone. Warm, thick, throbbing tremolo that solid-state circuits just
can't match. Variable Speed, Intensity, and Tone controls allow the
user complete control over the degree of tremolo effect, offering
everything from painfully slow, spongy pulses to vibrant, shimmering
warbles. Dual outputs allow for true stereo imaging by panning the
tremolo effect between two amplifiers.
So, if tube tremolo
tones are you're bag, look no further than the VT-X to fuel your mojo.
The classic sounds you crave without the hassle and expense of vintage
gear. At long last, a tremolo effect worthy of the name Guyatone.

HARMONY CENTRAL USER REVIEWS:
Sound Quality: 9
The
sound is excellent. I have found that it is the closest sounding
tremolo pedal out that to the natural tremolo sound of an amp, probably
because of the tube of course. To me, it really just sounds like adding
a tremolo sound to my guitar signal with almost NO coloration or change
in the sound you are putting in the pedal. It is a VERY warm sounding
trem on its own, very rich and lush pulses. When Guyatone called it the
"Vintage Tremolo" they were correctly naming it. I actually prefer it
to my Deluxe Reverbs amp tremolo sound. If you want the best lush,
warm, versatile tremolo that is the closest sounding to an amps
tremolo, THIS IS THE ONE.

This
is a tube driven tremelo that comes equipped with an NOS JAN Philips
12AX7WA. There is a cool fast/slow switch that allows for twice the
speed combinations too. There is another switch for either warbling,
soft edge tremelo to helicopter like hard wave chops. Very interesting.
The last control is a tone knob that is also very useful. The switch is
silent and you can't hear when it is engaged. If you have 2 amps
plugged in to this unit at once you'll hear amazing stereo sounds. The
tremelo is honestly the best I've heard including brown and blackface
Fender amps. I highly recommend it.
