Midknight Valencia
"Based on the British work horse the AD30htc, this pedal gives players true tube tone and dirt at the stomp of a switch"
When we set out to make out an amp-in-a-box style pedal we wanted to make exactly that... a tube in a box. Based on one of best tube driven bass amps ever made, the AD30HTC.
From shimmering cleans, edge of break up jangle to fire spitting classic crunch, this pedal covers it all
Build:
We start with a 12AX7 preamp tube and run it at 277vdc, full operating voltage. That means the tube is providing all the sound for the pedal. Next we use Mallory M150 and silver mica signal capacitors, the exact same parts you would see in a high end tube amp. We use metal film resistors for the tube plates to keep the noise floor low and carbon film resistors in the rest of the signal path to give the tone more mojo and less sterility.
-You can run any 12A?7 tube you want, to try different tones and gain levels.
Durability:
With its aluminum enclosure and high end pots, jacks and switch, this pedal will last you a life time. And the tube? We put a steel foot guard between your foot and the tube to protect against accidently bumps. And for those of you who are maybe a little more energetic we also include a metal tube shield, which slides over the tube and locks in to keep the tube safe and sound through your most passionate performance.
Performance:
The Midknight Valencia makes an excellent pre amp to run in front of a power amp, cab sim or directly into a recording interface to give you convenient tube tone at your finger tips.
The Valencia also makes an awesome straight up overdrive pedal to put in front of you favorite amp to get those sweet British tones.
