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.
