V8 Distortion

The V8 Distortion features a 12AX7 vacuum tube operating at 200V through Vox's Hi-Volt technology—genuine tube distortion even when battery powered. All-analog discrete circuitry delivers aggressive British-voiced saturation.

Volume, Bass, Tone, and Gain controls with Bright switch shape everything from crunchy rhythm tones to heavy saturated leads. The tube stage adds harmonic complexity and dynamic response unavailable from solid-state designs.

The slow-start heater circuit extends tube life. Rugged aluminum die-cast body with standby/on switch. True bypass switching preserves signal integrity when disengaged. Powers from 6 AA batteries or DC 9V adapter.
