The VOX Valvenergy Copperhead Drive is an advanced, high-performance distortion and overdrive pedal designed to replicate the legendary, roaring crunch of a classic stack-style British tube amplifier. Part of VOX’s innovative Valvenergy series, this pedal harnesses groundbreaking vacuum tube technology to deliver the massive punch, harmonic complexity, and dynamic touch-sensitivity of a driven stack.

Nutube Technology and Internally Boosted Voltage

Moving far beyond standard solid-state distortion circuits, the Copperhead Drive features a fully analog signal path powered by next-generation components:

Nutube 6P1 Integration: Equipped with a genuine Korg Nutube—a revolutionary miniature vacuum tube—delivering authentic tube compression, organic harmonic saturation, and natural amp-like breakup.
Internal 15V Voltage Boost: Automatically steps up standard 9V power to 15 volts internally, significantly expanding your dynamic headroom, note clarity, and punch even under heavy distortion.
Versatile Stack Voicing: Engineered to provide everything from thick, warm rhythm crunch to screaming, articulate lead tones that clean up effortlessly when you back off your guitar's volume.

Three Flexible Output Modes

Adaptable to any guitar rig, live setup, or recording environment via a convenient rear mode switch:

Standard Mode: Outputs a standard instrument-level signal to run straight into the front input of a traditional guitar amplifier.
Preamp Mode: Outputs a line-level signal designed to patch directly into an amplifier's effects loop return or power amp input.
Cab-Sim Mode: Features an integrated analog speaker simulator, allowing you to run a direct line-level signal straight into a mixing console, PA system, or audio interface.

Smart Features & Channel Linking

Built with modern conveniences to streamline your pedalboard workflow:

OLED Display: Features a high-contrast digital screen that provides real-time visual feedback of your waveform via an integrated oscilloscope as you play.
Channel Link System: Link multiple Valvenergy pedals together using a standard 3.5mm stereo cable to emulate a multi-channel amplifier setup, automatically bypassing one pedal when another is engaged.
