Master Effects Misanthrope Ampeg VH140c VH150 in a box

The Misanthrope is based on the preamp of the Ampeg VH140c and VH150 amps that defined the sound of 90s death metal.

Note that even though this is based on the preamp of the VH140c/VH150, it is intended to be used a distortion pedal in front of your amp.   You can plug it into a power amp or the FX loop return on your traditional amp if you like also.

This pedal uses a 9V DC supply like a Voodoo Labs, One Spot, Dunlop DC brick, Boss PSA, etc ONLY. Using a power supply more than 9V or an AC adapter will void the warranty. There is circuitry inside the pedal that will boost the voltage that the pedal runs at to ±15V to give lots of headroom, just like the original amp.

Some features:

- Professionally fabricated PCB using the latest SMD technology

- Low noise floor

- Soft touch true bypass relay switching for ultimate reliability
