Natural Guitar EQ.​ Discrete class A transformer and inductor loaded 2 band gain stage.​ Best thought of for guitarists as a wide open and dynamic zero to low gain colour and texture boost. Does a great impression of a high headroom uncompressed TS with far superior dynamic response and plenty of flexibility around that sound, from treble boost for downtuners to blown out fuzz at the extremes. For the engineers in the room it's a moderately high headroom (9v) low Z in 2 band channel strip with pre-gain bass control (BASE - cut to 2.6KHz), circuit gain control (BUFF), post gain parallel inductive top end blend control (SHEEN - cut to 740Hz), and a low-Z transformer coupled output with a volume trim and impedence matching noise filter (CUT). Has a distinct vintage character that is punchy and "mix ready". Fattens up a strat like nothing else. Low Z normally suggests first in chain but this is just a preference thing. The Low Z input provides a more vintage sound and dynamic response. Running a buffer before it will negate the Low-Z characteristics and as such add treble, stiffen the reponse, and this may be preferable for some. We like both. A buffer on the output will not affect the rest of the circuit.​ Not a "Vox-In-A-Box", despite the reference.
