Overview

Congratulations on your purchase of the VOD-50. You will not be disappointed with

this extremely high quality, versatile, all-analogue guitar amplifier. Its truly unique cir-

cuit features a valve preamp that produces both triode and pentode harmonics for the

rich overdrive sound you normally associate with a cranked all-valve amp. But the

VOD-50 does not need to be cranked to sound that way, making it equally suited to

studio or practice sessions as big stages.

The boost and lead channel switches, as well as the gain controls, have been designed

as wide-band mid-boosts and act to keep your tone balanced at all settings. An active

2-band EQ lets you dial in a master voicing to suit your guitar and room, and the spring

reverb adds a lush, complex three dimensionality to your sound.

Further professional features include a serial effects loop and a mains voltage selector

switch. The latter, combined with a sturdy but lightweight pine cabinet, make the VOD-

50 a perfect choice for the touring musician.
