V4 The Kraken is a two-channel pedal preamp that delivers genuine all-valve overdrive.

This is definitely no 'ordinary' overdrive pedal!

FEATURES

All-valve signal path

1 x EC900 and 3 x CV4014 valves running at high plate voltage. These are the first pedal-format guitar preamps to feature four valves and an all-valve signal path. This is no ‘ordinary’ overdrive pedal!

Two Channels

Just like its namesake amp, Gain 1 is a slightly looser more ‘vintage’ British-inspired gain sound. Gain 2 is tighter in the bass with a more cutting midrange character and, of course, more drive.

Remote Switching

The TRS jack gives you option of switching the pedal remotely. You can control on/off and also channel 1/2 with either a separate two-button latching footswitch or via a modern programmable switching unit. This means you can have the V4 Series Pedal Preamp off the floor and out of harm’s way.

Two ways to connect

We recommend ‘Amp Through Mode’ for full functionality where you can choose to use your amp’s own front end, or the V4 Preamp via the amp effects loop. To use it as a ‘normal’ pedal or if you don’t have an effects loop, use ‘Standalone’ mode.

Bright Switch

Bright is a global tone control that optimises the V4 Pedal Preamp for what you’re plugging into. Amp effects loops, inputs, recording devices and so on all differ greatly, so just choose the setting that sounds best to your ears. Don’t worry if other settings sound ‘bad’. It all depends what you’re playing through!

Live, home & studio

Put it on your pedalboard, on top of your amp or on your desktop. It’s particularly good for fly dates, or other situations when you’re not using your own amp. Just hit the FX loop return of whatever you’re using and feel right at home in no time.

Steel Chassis

If you’re going to be standing on it and it contains hot glass, it needs to be tough. The folded steel chassis and kick bar for the knobs means that this thing is ready for the road.

Three-Band EQ

Powerful bass, middle and treble controls. These also have a significant effect on the gain character and drive levels – just like in any valve guitar amp.

AMP THROUGH MODE EXPLAINED

Amp Through Mode utilises the effects loop of your guitar amp
When the pedal is ON, you’re bypassing your amp’s front end
When the pedal is OFF, you’re plugged into your amp as normal

You’re adding two new ‘channels’ to your amp that are independent from your amp’s own front end. Imagine if you could feed the power section of a Fender Twin, for example, with the front end of a Countess, Sheriff or Kraken. That’s exactly what your doing: your single-channel workhorse becomes a three-channel monster.

No FX loop? Use Standalone Mode and go straight in the front.

Fender Santa Ana Overdrive V2

Santa Ana V2 is a JFET-based class-A overdrive pedal running at 18V internally — a design that provides the touch sensitivity and high-headroom drive that players expect from a Fender tube amp pushed hard and then some. At its heart, this dual-voice drive circuit sports three straightforward controls and a Voice switch to push your guitar from natural-sounding tight overdrive (voice A) to smooth, thick lead tones (voice B). The Drive and Tone controls provide a wide range to dial in just the right flavor of gain and treble presence in the drive signal, while the rear-mounted Tight switch pulls some pre-drive bass frequencies out for an even more focused feeling drive. To further sculpt the frequency response of your drive, a standalone, independently switchable 3-band EQ circuit is built around the Santa Ana V2 drive engine. Active Bass, Middle, and Treble controls offer a wide range of adjustment, cutting or boosting each frequency range with a center detent to mark flat response. Determine exactly how the EQ circuit interacts by using the EQ Placement switch to stack the EQ before or after the drive: Pre-drive EQ flavors the overdrive’s response by determining which frequencies are clipped most by the drive circuit; post-drive EQ lets your guitar hit the drive head on and shapes the resulting gain tones for a more dramatic EQ effect. With a fine-tuned JFET drive engine, independent EQ circuit, conveniently switchable buffered and true bypass modes, and multiswitch enabled footswitches for momentary and latching activation, the Santa Ana V2 is an ultra-flexible, intuitive overdrive with tons of tones on tap.

Fender Pugilist Distortion V2

The Pugilist V2 is a distortion pedal like no other, wielding dual independent distortion engines packed inside one chassis to crank out a wealth of thick tones. Each distortion engine can be turned on separately using its designated footswitch and dialed in using its own Gain, Tone and Level controls. This provides two distinctively flavored distortion voices, with Engine A delivering treble-rich lead drive tones and Engine B laying on thick, heavier distortion. The real magic of Pugilist V2 is in the Path switch, which runs the two distortion engines through three different signal paths as they push each other into harmonically rich saturation. The two Series Modes send one circuit into the other for stacking drive tones that can be layered like amp channels, using the footswitches to kick into the next level of cascading distortion. Parallel Mode delivers deep tone-shaping by running the two engines side by side to be blended and balanced using the level controls to create the perfect meld of articulate, chunky distortion. Featuring global Mid Cut and Bass Boost switches, conveniently switchable buffered and true bypass modes, and multiswitch enabled footswitches for momentary and latching activation, these ever-sparring distortion circuits knock out huge distortion tones with modern conveniences fit for any board.

Fender Pelt Fuzz V2

The Pelt V2 is a pro-level fuzz pedal with a classic spirit. Built around silicon transistors and a buffer-friendly input stage, it packs all the fuzzed-out tones a saturation-lover could ask for — from full, biting octave fuzz to smooth, harmonically rich walls of gain. Beyond traditional Fuzz, Tone and Level controls, the Pelt V2 takes saturation shaping to the next level with Sag and Bloom controls to fine tune exactly how your signal breaks and splatters into furry, gain-ladened madness. Use the Mids and Thick switches to deliver extra EQ shaping for mid and bass frequency presence to instantly push into new characters of fuzz. The Octave (Chaos) footswitch takes this fuzz into all-new territory by adding a traditional octave-up effect or, with Chaos engaged, an asymmetrical octave effect for glitchy, sputtering artifacts and unpredictable tonal chaos. To top it off, this buffer and bass friendly pedal features a Blend control that enables mixing of fuzz and clean tones (perfect for bass) or blending fuzz with the drive tone of pedals before it in your signal chain. Featuring conveniently switchable buffered and true bypass modes, multiswitch enabled footswitches for momentary and latching activation, and a world of tone-shaping tools for dialing in the exact fuzz you’re after, the Pelt V2 is the ultimate way to add a gloriously wooly coat to your tone.

Fender Bends Compressor V2

An intuitive compressor/boost combo offering low-noise compression in both modern and vintage tube flavors, the Bends V2 is ideal for guitar and bass alike. Utilizing a unique take on OTA technology for real-time gain control, this compressor reacts to your playing dynamics smoothly and naturally to balance the volume of louder and quieter sections while adding sustain and thickness to your notes. The Bends V2 simplifies compression to three clearly labeled controls — a three-speed Attack switch, a fine-tuned Release control, and an Input control which sets the input level of the compression trigger. An active Tone control with a center detent cuts or boost treble to make up for any lost sparkle, and the Blend control injects clean into the mix to provide the perfect balance of clean dynamics and compression. A rear-mounted Vintage switch provides the real secret sauce, reshaping the circuit from a crisp, surgical action to a beautifully colored smooth compression with a hint of natural saturation when engaged. Combine boost and compression for some real magic. The Comp Pre/Post switch rearranges the internal circuit to reorder the independent ultra-clean boost and compression. Place the boost before compression for soaring Nashville-style sustain or stack the boost after your signal is compressed and kick it on for a solo boost to increase the overall output level into your next effects. Featuring an independent boost circuit, switchable buffered and true bypass modes, and multiswitch enabled footswitches for momentary and latching activation, the Bends V2 is a fully featured compressor that brings natural feeling dynamic control to any instrument.
