Deliver high-gain distortion and tube-amp roar with the Vox Tone Garage V8 Distortion pedal, featuring a real 12AX7 vacuum tube, Hi-Volt 200V technology, Mid Shift switch, active EQ, and true bypass switching.
Unleash a massive wall of high-gain aggression and authentic tube-driven power with the Vox V8 Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal. Named after a high-performance "V-type 8-cylinder" engine, this boutique stompbox from Vox's celebrated Tone Garage series delivers heavy riffs, screaming solos, and razor-sharp lead tones packed with genuine vacuum tube warmth.
The V8 Distortion is equipped with a real ECC83 / 12AX7 vacuum tube operating at an authentic 200 volts using Vox's proprietary Hi-Volt technology, providing genuine valve compression and touch-sensitive dynamics even when powered by batteries. It features a dedicated Mid-Shift switch that alters the peak frequency band: turn it off for a wide, aggressive attack ideal for rhythm work, or switch it on to shift the midrange for singing, articulate lead lines that easily cut through any mix.
