VHT Valvulator I
Vacuum Tube Buffer / Power Supply

VHT Valvulator I Vacuum Tube Buffer / Power Supply

The VALVULATOR I is a must-have accessory that combines two useful and powerful features, a Vacuum Tube Buffer/Line Driver, and a Multiple Output Regulated DC Power Supply, in a single, convenient, AC-powered unit. The VALVULATOR I is a ruggedly built, compact pedal board and professional/home studio tool that operates on standard AC wall current, NO WALL WARTS, and is housed in a rugged steel chassis topped with a sleek stainless steel vented cover.

Degradation of tonal quality is caused by three things:

  1. Loss of high frequency response due to cable capacitance.
  2. Loss of signal level and high frequency response due to impedance effects.
  3. Signal degradation caused by the design of the circuitry in the effects device.

The VALVULATOR I solves all three of these problems using a vacuum tube based Buffer circuit to change your guitar signal from high impedance to low impedance. You will be amazed at the renewed responsiveness of your instrument as well as the effect on your playing. In addition, the V I input stage utilizes the same circuitry as that found in the input stage of most guitar amplifiers. This means you get the same dynamic feel from your instrument as you would if you were plugged directly into your amp!

The VALVULATOR I provides four regulated and isolated outputs which will supply you with all of the clean regulated power you need to insure maximum signal output and frequency response from you pedal devices. And because the power supply outputs are individually isolated, you never have to worry about ground loop hum.
