Pike Amplification Vulcan Bass Overdrive Bass Effect Pedal

The Vulcan is a bass overdrive that packs two discrete drive circuits into one package. The innovative color control provides a variable balance between a mid-forward, B-15-inspired overdrive and a higher-gain modern sound. The signal path is split after the first gain stage and sent to each overdrive circuit where the sound is clipped and sculpted individually and recombined at the output. The result is a versatile overdrive that adapts to any style. A broad range of tones can be accessed by using the tone knob on your bass in conjunction with the controls on the Vulcan.

The Vulcan is housed in a compact enclosure and finished with a brushed anodized aluminum face plate. It utilizes the proprietary Pike CMOS bypass switching system for reliable silent switching through a clickless stomp switch. It is designed to sound great at 9v DC, but can be powered with 18v for a cleaner sound with extra headroom.
