The AMPSAMPS Vintage Console Boost Deluxe (VCBD) is the same awesome Vintage Console Boost, but with a custom Cinemag Input Transformer based on the specs of the famed Wolfbox DI recording secret weapon designed by Edward Wolfrum in the late 50's and made popular by Motown and James Jamerson. This transformer gives your signal a step-up that adds clarity and fullness to your instruments tone that you will find... you can't live without!

The boost is based on the negative feedback-style controls found in classic 1960s recording console inputs. It's designed to provide a transparent boost, offering up to 60x unity gain, and is known for adding high-end clarity and sustain to a guitar signal. The pedal's design also includes a high input impedance which helps preserve the original tone of the guitar and pickups. When driven hard, the VCB can also produce a smooth, natural distortion, reminiscent of tube triode overload. Note: crackle when increasing or decreasing the volume is due to the control re-biasing the BS170 transistor.
