NV81 Boost/Buffer

A simple little pedal that doesn't look like much, the NV81 Boost is a buffer/boost type effect pedal. It bases its circuit on a class AB driver and a True Coil output transformer which gives it a unique sound signature.

Externally, you have to be honest, it doesn't break any bricks! A simple aluminum box, a small sticker and roll youth! OK, but when you open it, it's something else. Quality components, custom made transformer, PCB the thickness of a floor, it's no joke! In terms of controls, Boost (Volume) and a Color (Tone) and voila!

Connected to a clean platform, Les Paul 59 in hand, everything at 12:00. First thing, you really have to supply it with 18V. Of course, it works at 9V, but you will gain a lot of headroom, so don't hesitate! Second thing, the ST81 stacked on an excellent clean channel type Two-Rock Studio Signature, it's a huge slap! From the first notes, we note the superb transparency of the machine, it is slightly colored, in a superb way, but it does not modify your original sound in any way. The Tone is very effective and musical, we can bring enough slamming or low depending on the guitar used. What surprises with the NV81 is the attack it brings. It feels like playing on a very good compressor rack and apply a slight compression as you would on a track in the studio. The dynamics are enormous, the headroom reserve almost unlimited (that of your amp) and the natural a model of its kind. The NV81 magnifies your sound by bringing better response, dynamics and a more complex top end.

In conclusion, rarely have we heard such complexity come out of a pedal, which is moreover at an affordable price. The NV81 Boost / Buffer is a model is a real turbo for your amp that will magnify its assets. On top of that, it's an excellent buffer that will give you the ability to use long lengths of cable without degrading your sound.
