Fuchs Audio is pleased to introduce our newest pedal the Valve Job II

The new Fuchs Valve job II is the first of an upcoming series of pedals to bear the Fuchs brand. It will be a limited-edition pedal, due to the use of a rare Russian miniature computer tube with a limited availability. Once these tubes are gone, this pedal will be as well. We are using the tube in an extremely conservative fashion, so it should last many years without replacement. 

Incorporating our Pure Gain© circuit with a redesign of the original Valve Job circuit to produce a D-style pedal that can do so much more. The Pure Gain is on all the time, so the pedal makes a great buffer to drive long cables and a pedalboard with minimal tonal losses from cabling or switches. Factory set to 10db of boost (internally adjustable up to 24db). The footswitch switches from buffer to boost silently. 

The Valve Job portion is a four-knob design (just like the original) with gain, touch, tone and level controls. It features a regulated tube heater which runs the tube at half its normal heater voltage for lowest noise and to intentionally encourage grid current which vastly enhances the distortion characteristics. The distortion can be dialed-in from a smooth horn-like drive, all the way to a hard rock screamer style distortion and everything in between. 

Built in a premium powder-coated aluminum enclosure with baked-on silk screening, premium components, controls and jacks. Comes with 1-year warranty on pedal (excluding abuse). Assembled in USA of premium imported and domestic components.

Valve Job II notes: 
TUBES: The tube in this pedal is a Russian military grade tube, made in the 70’s to the highest quality spec. You should never need a replacement in the life of the pedal.

POWER SUPPLIES: These pedals use a somewhat higher current than any pedal not using a tube, therefore a high current 9V supply is highly recommended. These pedals require a power supply capable of 500ma at 9 volts minimum. Many inadequate power supplies will exhibit a voltage sag, shutdown at cold-start (due to tube filament) or become noisy when high currents are drawn from them. We have tested this design with Visual Sound and Godlyke supplies, and those supplies and these pedals work terrific together. Often, multi-voltage supplies like the Voodoo Labs tend to be noisy on some outputs, as the current is not adequate. We do not believe there is any appreciable benefit to any higher voltage power supplies. If you experience a hum or whine, please try a different power supply.

Power 9 volts at 500ma. Due to current required, this operated on a center negative 9V supply (not included). 
Gain boost: factory set to 10-db, maximum 24db available.
