The sound of a classic wireless system meets three iconic amps that helped shape the history of rock. From its inception/invention, in the mid-70s, this wireless system has been the secret recipe to major rock guitar rigs. The magic ingredient lies to its analog preamp/ tone enhancer circuit that expands the dynamic response and harmonics of any signal that goes through it. By producing a modern recreation of this hidden gem, we have ensured enough percussive attack to spice up your tone.

Utilising an all-analogue JFET circuit, running on 27 volts via an internal voltage boost, we have captured the tone and feel of three British tube amplifiers synonymous with the sound of rock and roll with an excellent clean-to-mean dynamic response. Our “WoS” (Wall of Sound) circuit opens up the soundstage by increasing output and adding thundering lows and dense high mids. The effect is similar to “adding” a wall of amp heads and full stacks to your rig!

Key Features

  • Recreates the tones of the gear setup used by Angus Young
  • Right side recreates the preamp/tone enhancer-expander circuit of the Schaffer Vega Diversity System
  • Left side is an all-analouge simulation of the preamp and power amp sound and response of 3 distinct Marshall amplifiers: JTM45, Super Lead Plexi, JMP 2203

A passive effects loop gives you the option to connect your beloved pedals between the two sections, building your ideal rig.

Specifications

  • Enhance control amplifies your guitar’s dynamic response and harmonics.
  • Level controls the output/boost of the preamp circuit.
  • Volume (gain) control: control the amount of amp drive/saturation. From clean to mean.
  • 3 band Marshall style EQ (bass, middle, treble).
  • Presence controls the amount of upper mid and high frequencies to match the pedal to any gear setup.
  • Master knob sets overall output volume. Designed to produce more gain at higher settings.
  • Wall of Sound (WoS) toggle switch: increase soundstage – output.
  • Independent operation of the left and right sections.
  • Click-less true bypass design via high-quality relays for each section.
  • 2 Footswitches/2 Status LEDs – one for each effect section.
  • Power-up bypass/engage preset function for the footswitches.
  • Top mounted jacks.
  • Passive series effects loop to connect pedals between the two sections or use them
  • separately as independent effects.
  • Power Supply: Use only 9V DC, 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm, center negative (not included).
  • Runs internally at 27V DC (via internal voltage boost circuit) for higher headroom and tube-like performance.
  • Current consumption 115mA.
  • Dimensions (W x L x H) : 119 x 97x 53mm.

EQ

While Ed Sheeran primarily relies on the natural sound of his acoustic guitar and vocals, he occasionally uses EQ (Equalization) to shape and enhance his tone during live performances or in the studio. EQ pedals or onboard preamps can allow him to adjust the frequency response of his guitar signal to suit the acoustics of different venues or to achieve specific tonal characteristics. Here’s how EQ might be utilized in Ed Sheeran’s setup:

1. **Tonal Shaping**: EQ can be used to adjust the balance of frequencies in the guitar signal, allowing Ed Sheeran to shape his tone to his liking. For example, he might boost the midrange frequencies to bring out the warmth and presence of his acoustic guitar, or cut certain frequencies to reduce any harshness or mud in the sound.

2. **Feedback Control**: In a live setting, EQ can help control feedback by notching out problematic frequencies that might cause the guitar signal to feed back through the amplification system. This can be particularly useful when performing in venues with challenging acoustics or high volume levels.

3. **Room Correction**: In situations where the venue’s acoustics are less than ideal, EQ can be used to compensate for any deficiencies in the sound. By adjusting the EQ settings, Ed Sheeran can tailor the guitar tone to sound more balanced and natural, regardless of the room’s acoustic properties.

4. **Matching Gear**: EQ can also be used to match the tone of Ed Sheeran’s guitar to the sound of other instruments or equipment in his setup. For example, he might adjust the EQ to complement the tonal characteristics of his vocal microphone or to blend seamlessly with backing tracks or other instruments.

Overall, while EQ may not be a central component of Ed Sheeran’s guitar effects setup, it can still play a valuable role in shaping his tone and ensuring that he achieves the desired sound in different performance environments. Whether used subtly for tonal shaping or more aggressively for feedback control, EQ allows Ed Sheeran to tailor his guitar tone to suit his musical vision and performance needs.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
