Here it is, the former VeJ, the number "1".

The VeJ1 is based on one of the most used solid-state amp, the Ampeg VH140c (Channel A). You get full control over your tone with a 3-band EQ and Gain/Volume knobs.

Real gritty death metal tone ahead, kinda "fuzz-a-like" with a nice gating. With an intense EQ leaning toward a HM-2 tone and a growly distortion, it's really a beast of its own. Start with the EQ maxed on all 3 bands and gain at half. With max gain and Treble, it starts to Fuzz and compress a lot.

Lower gain setting will work like a normal tube amp, as you raise the gain, depending on the instrument pickups output, you'll start to get that gating fuzz tone.

Power Consumption : 25mA

Voltage : 9Vdc Center Negative Only

Buffered design.

classic Dying Fetus tone

Took me a minute to figure how to get the tone I wanted from this box, but now it's my favourite drive/distortion for brutal metal. The breakthrough was to slam a tube screamer or something else in front to boost it hard. An EQ afterwards helps to add in some treble, the VH140c circuit is quite dark overall. Gives the classic 90s solid state DM tone like on Dying Fetus "grotesque impalement". Love it \m/

Totally Rips

Sounds massive, brings out exactly what I want in hardcore, thrash, and death metal tones. Build and finish gorgeous. Not noisy even when cranked

Great sound and great pedal High quality

Warm, dynamic, tube-like, sparkly: all words that DO NOT describe this pedal

Are you looking for a pedal with lots of tube-like warmth? Something that will give you a nice little dynamic crunch? Well kick rocks, wimp. This isn't it.

What is it? It's a perfect re-creation of a cold, dense, solid state behemoth with one goal in mind: chunky Neanderthal riffs. When used as a pre-amp, this pedal absolutely NAILS the sound of the extreme metal cult classic Ampeg VH140C. The mids control goes a long way to changing the voicing: all the way clockwise for something more modern sounding (still relatively scooped) or slam it counter-clockwise for that classic Suffocation or Internal Bleeding vibe.
