Vertex Ultraphonix MKII

Vertex Ultraphonix MKII Special Overdrive delivers the blooming midrange and screaming overdrive of the ultra-rare American boutique amplifiers that players have been coveting for decades. This overdrive emulates the the expansive midrange and strident cascading gain stages of the D*lightful amplifier this pedal is based on.

When you turn it on, it will unleash your guitar’s full-throated potential with an articulate attack and smooth sustain that’s reminiscent of players like Robben Ford and Larry Carlton. If you’re a tone chaser, the Ultraphonix MKII Specialized Overdrive pedal will help you achieve the D-style tone you’ve been dreaming of that doesn’t require a mortgage to purchase!

To help you create your ultimate tone, the Ultraphonix has extra gain-shaping controls beyond the original MKI version with Master Volume, Input Gain “Level”, and Distortion/Saturation “Ratio”.  Players can fine tune their pickup outputs with the input gain “LEVEL” control to get the same reaction from the overdrive irrespective of using Single Coil or Humbucking pickups with up to 8dB of level compensation available.

Plus, get additional presence and harmonic saturation using the “FILTER” knob for sculpting the upper-mids from 800Hz to 1.6kHz. Once you get the perfect mix of overdrive and EQ, use the “MASTER” volume control to set your final output level.  No matter where you set it, this pedal will sound “wide-open” and “amp-like” at all volume levels.
