Vox Valvenergy Mystic Edge

Vox · pedal

The Vox Valvenergy Mystic Edge is an all-analog overdrive built around a Nutube miniature vacuum tube, voiced to nail the chimey, gritty character of a Vox AC30. It is exceptionally touch-sensitive, delivering the jangly sparkle and raunchy crunch of the AC-style amps, particularly tasty for jangly leads and crunchy rhythm work, and it responds dynamically to pick attack and guitar volume. The Nutube circuit provides genuine tube-like harmonic distortion and feel, while a cab-simulated output enables direct recording or running into a power amp. It ranges from light, chimey breakup to fuller AC30-style crunch as the drive is increased. It suits players chasing classic British Vox tones, jangle, and dynamic crunch for indie, rock, and classic styles in a compact, amp-like pedal.
