VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster Pedal (VTB-1)

Product Description
The VOX VTB-1 Treble Booster is a vintage-inspired boost pedal designed to recreate the iconic British treble booster tones that helped define classic rock recordings. Built around a carefully selected silicon transistor and a precision-biased single-transistor circuit, it delivers the harmonic richness, touch sensitivity, and dynamic response of vintage treble boosters while providing the stability, consistency, and low-noise performance demanded by modern players. Ideal for pushing tube amplifiers into smooth, singing overdrive, the VTB-1 offers authentic vintage character in a compact and road-ready format.
