Steve Vai Signature Dual Channel all-tube synergy module
Tube Preamp
Loaded with two 12AX7 preamp tubes and voiced to Mr Vai’s personal taste, this new preamp module is all about getting you closer to his tone. It has controls for Gain, Volume, Bass, Middle and Treble. Then you have two channels to play with, as well. The first is called the Blue channel and it offers switchable ‘Fat’ and ‘Bright’ modes, while the overdriven Red channel has ‘Bright’ and ‘Boost’ switches. There’s also a three-position cathode select switch that lets configure the input tube bias setting.
You will need to be a user of the Synergy modular amplifier system to benefit from this new signature Vai module. But as a signature product, having an artist of the calibre of Steve Vai onboard says a lot about the quality you can expect of the system.
RRP – USD 399.99
