Guitar World Verdict
If you simply can’t live without the dynamic responsiveness and smooth, musical harmonic overtones of real tube technology but don’t want the hassles of hot operating temperatures, costly and regular maintenance and bulky designs, the Vox Valvenergy second series pedals are worth strong consideration.
Pros
+Nutube technology provides true tube performance and sounds without hassles.
+Smooth Impact provides studio-quality natural-sounding compression effects.
+Tone Sculptor combines preamp and graphic EQ in a single package.
+Fuel Injector and Power Burst pedals’ tone toggles expand tonal options.
Cons
–Illuminated display provides eye candy but little useful info (Smooth Impact is an exception).
-Fuel Injector and Power Burst have limited EQ shaping capabilities.
What is it?Vox first introduced its Nutube technology in a series of micro amps back in 2017, followed by their first series of Valvenergy pedals featuring an all-analog signal path and Nutube tech in 2021.
