Vox Valvenergy Silk Drive

Iconic amplifier sounds for your pedalboard. The Silk Drive tube overdrive pedal delivers the dynamic, clean, and creamy overdrive tones of classic boutique amplifiers in a compact pedal format, powered by Nutube for warm, responsive tones similar to those of a tube amp.

Inspired by harmonically rich boutique amplifier tones, the Silk Drive goes beyond a typical pedal in a box to offer a truly versatile tube overdrive. The fully analog signal path and Nutube technology provide authentic tube-like saturation and boost, while the internally reinforced voltage offers greater headroom and dynamics. Additionally, the OLED display shows an oscilloscope view when the pedal is active or bypassed, giving you a clear visual of how your signal is affected.

About Valvenergy

The VALVENERGY series offers four effects pedals that deliver the response and harmonic distortion of a tube amplifier, bringing the sound of popular amplifiers into a pedal.

In addition to developing traditional tube amplifiers that use conventional vacuum tubes, VOX has also been exploring revolutionary guitar amplifiers that utilize Nutube, the new vacuum tube technology. Leveraging the technology gained through the development of these amplifiers, we have now created a line of Nutube pedals. With the sound and feel of a tube amplifier, this series offers four classic amplifier tones that are essential for modern music. It also introduces new channel switching and line level output features not previously available in pedals.
