Plugging It In
The Varitone Stompbox works best placed before any other pedals – think of it as an extension of your guitar’s tone controls.
Tech Spec
Through painstakingly auditioned capacitors, we’ve arrived at a great all rounder which brings greater range to the classic Gibson Varitone to suit all passive guitars whether is a singlecoil or a humbucker! Not only does this pedal feature the best components it’s authentic to the real Gibson ones. I even use the correct spec inductor coil (or choke) to give it *that* tone – it just doesn’t sound the same without it (Many other brands don’t even have a choke.)
The 9v power input is only for the LED- this unit will function fine without power.
Crammed with useful sounds, expertly wired, and tailored through rigorous testing – it’s finally arrived.
