DNA ANALOGIC VIRTUAL TUBE.
Just as the name implies, the VT-1
Virtual Tube is an overdrive effect that reproduces the natural
saturation of a vintage tube amplifier with stunning realism. The VT-1
adds amazing fatness and warmth to your signal and can be used as a
crunch channel for a clean amp or a booster to drive a high gain amp
even harder.
The secret to the VT-1s realistic tone lies in
three distinct areas: First, it does not use the standard JRC4558 IC
that most overdrivess are based around but instead relies on a
higher-quality JRC2043 IC. Contrary to popular belief, the 4558 is
neither rare nor unique, and there are many higher-grade op amps to
choose from that sound superior: Rather than rely on hype, the VT-1
relies on tone to make its point.
While DNAs choice of op amps
may be untraditional, their choice in diodes are tried and true,
hand-selected germaniums. Germanium diodes are preferred to other types
in that they distort at lower voltages, providing a more natural,
dynamic overdrive effect than standard diodes do. The use of germaniums
allows the VT-1 to clean up remarkably well by rolling off your
instruments volume, and it tracks picking techniques flawlessly.
Lastly,
the VT-1s tone circuit is a radical departure from the standard
overdrive. Rather than rely on a High Cut/Boost circuit that can rob
your instrument of low end, the VT-1s Cut control affects only the
ultra-high frequencies, adding shimmer and sheen to your sound without
sacrificing punch and power in the low end. This control combined with
the VT-1s alternative circuit are the secrets to its design, but the
real magic is how the VT-1 fits perfectly with any guitar rig or
playing style to provide you with limitless creative inspiration - in
short, it makes your guitar sing.
