Voodu Valve On-Line
(Tube Driven Programmable 24-Bit DSP Guitar
Preamp With Effects)
Announcing the newVooDu Valve On-Line, featuring
presets that were created by “real world” Rocktron VooDu Valve owners, including
popular artists like Gary Hoey, Neil Zaza, and more. These presets were submitted to us by
VooDu Valve owners from all over the world and are found in our revolutionary Patch Bay. the worlds first
downloadable presets for guitar players!
The VooDu Valve is the first preamp in Rocktron
history to combine our world renowned DSP effects processing with tube technology. The
VooDu will define new standards, giving you the warmth and clarity of your favorite old
“plexi” or “pre-CBS” combo in a convenient single-rack package. What
makes the VooDu Valve unique is that you can choose “high” and “low”
tube gain selections depending on how much tube break-up you want for your application. If
you want an ultra-clean tone with a sharp edge and minimal distortion, select
“low” tube gain presets. If your tone requires a tinge of dirt, dial up
“high” tube gain selections and run minimal digital distortion to get natural
medium-saturated tones reminiscent of a maxed out half stack. And for you
“gain-heads”, run “high” tube gain with digital clipping…you have to
hear this!
The preamp section also contains many totally usable
features such as Variac, Triode, Pentode and Solid State voicings. With a four band full
parametric post EQ section and comprehensive pre EQ section, you will never run into a
dead-end when EQing your presets (as you will with bargain preamps). The possibilities are
endless. – effects on the VooDu Valve will not wash out your tone or leave you waiting
while switching presets. They sound amazingly close to many of your favorite analog pedals
without the hassle. Effects include two-tap chorusing, dual- mode phaser, two-tap flanger,
compression, frequency programmable wah-wah, tremolo, reverb, echo-like delay featuring
unique tap tempo mode, pitch shift, and HUSH® noise reduction placed after the preamp and
before the effects where it should be, (no noise reduction after the effects as you find
with cheaper, noisier preamps).
Of course, the VooDu Valve is studio and stage ready with
XLR balanced outs (with level control) and 1/4″ outs. Speaker simulation is taken to
an art form on this preamp since it provides parameters for techniques commonly used by
sound engineers, including mic placement, speaker size selection and our patented
Reactance parameter. All MIDI functions have been employed including eight parameter
continuous control and mapping. Plug into our new All Access® foot controller and many
new time-saving MIDI extras will come to light, such as pre-assigned effect controller
on/off functions, boost option and titles that automatically transfer from the VooDu Valve
to the All Access.
