The Classic-V9 is built to the same exact specifications as the original model, but in a compact and pedalboard-friendly design. Constructed from 14-gauge steel, with a heavy-duty footswitch and a double-sided circuit board with a full-surface ground plane, the Classic-V9 is designed to withstand years of use and abuse on the road. It is powered via a standard 9VDC center pin negative power supply (not included) and is also compatible with isolated pedalboard power supply bricks. The circuit itself is designed to provide a wide range of distortion tones, from slight break-up to total distortion, allowing you to fine tune to suit your playing style. Additional EQ and output level controls provide further options for dialing in your tone, making the Classic-V9 an even more powerful tool for your pedalboard.
