DNA Analogic VT-1 Virtual Tube Overdrive 2000s Japan w/original box & paperwork

Excellent condition, very light use, includes original box and paperwork.

DNA Analogic VT-1 Virtual Tube, a rare, premium analog overdrive pedal manufactured in Japan during the early 2000s. It was specifically engineered to simulate the warm, rich characteristics of a true vacuum tube amplifier.

• Premium Circuitry: Rather than following the typical Ibanez Tube Screamer blueprint which relies on standard JRC4558 chips, the VT-1 utilizes a high-grade JRC2043 operational amplifier.
• Germanium Diodes: It features germanium clipping components, allowing the overdrive to clean up dynamically when you roll back your guitar’s volume knob.
• Unique Tone Circuit: The Cut control operates differently than a standard tone knob. Instead of rolling back the mid-range or stripping the bass punch, it attenuates only the ultra-high frequencies to provide a smooth high-end finish without losing low-end power.
• Famous Users: This pedal gained notable recognition among collectors and professionals, famously being utilized by legendary Japanese guitarist Char.

Controls

• Level: Adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal.
• Cut: Shaves off ultra-high frequencies to eliminate harshness.
• Drive: Controls the amount of saturation, ranging from a transparent clean boost to a crunchy, compressed overdrive.
