JW Guitars Velvet Crush (On Sale During Tax Season!)

The Velvet Crush is a fantastic hybrid between a Pre-amp, and a "True Overdrive". It is extremely transparent and features a completely analog circuit with True-Bypass. It is completely handmade, wired, and designed in the USA. Being a pre-amp hybrid, you may utilize the features of the Velvet Crush, even with the “Gain” control set completely to zero, and still be able to vastly shape your tone. 
  -The “Tone” control knob features a very generous sweep, allowing you to dial in the frequency that is just right for you.
  -The “USA” mode is designed to give you that mid-hi pre amp style that you have   come to love and expect from many of the most iconic and classic amps made     right here at home.
  -The “British” mode adds a very noticeable low end growl that becomes smooth     and glassy when played clean.
  -The “Hot” and “Sweet” switch is a very subtle feature that allows you to       moderately restrain certain frequency levels to achieve the final tweak that     separates some of the greatest tube amp tones. Hot mode allows you to reach a   full blown sizzling tone that will greatly accentuate those scorching solo riffs,     while sweet mode catches some of that extra fuzz and turns it into a more   “crunchy” tone. You will notice the response of this switch more in different pre     amp modes. It is a difference that you can literally feel while playing.

 This pedal was designed as an alternative to a heavily saturated market of Overdrive pedals that “Change” your sound. We wanted a pedal that literally felt like an extension of the controls on your tube amp. The Velvet Crush was the fruit of that labor. We sincerely hope you enjoy it!
