Barge Concepts VFB-x Variable Feedback and Blend Buffer/Bypass Looper Barge Concepts VFB-x Variable Feedback and Blend Buffer/Bypass Looper

The VFB-x is a fully buffered true bypass loop with a Clean Blend control and a footswitch-activated variable feedback blend. The VFB-x uses audio grade Burr Brown op-amps to buffer the send and receive signals, allowing improved signal strength over long pedal chains and cable runs, and minimizing “tone sucking” from vintage and mass-produced effects. The Clean Blend control mixes the clean/direct signal with the output of the effects loop, while the Feedback Blend circuit controls the amount of receive signal that is fed back to the send jack.

Orange Thunderverb 50

The new Thunderverb 50 is a smaller version of the Thunderverb 200 but with tailored power and two EL34s in the output section. It retains the same preamps as the 200 and the same gain structure and separate EQs in both input channels, with the second channel having a mid-focused single knob designed for characteristically different voicings. The Thunderverb 50 also features footswitchable reverb (valve driven), channel switching and attenuator.
