The Valco KGB series is designed to work specifically with K (keys, synths), G (guitar), and B (bass), the KGB JR Series is a scaled-back version of the main KGB Series. Here, the Blend Fader section has been dropped for those who don’t need it and would rather have a smaller footprint.
FEATURES:
- Variable Input Impedance Selection.
- Multi-diode Distortion featuring independent ’Op-Amp,’ ‘LED’, ‘Silicon’ and ‘Germanium’ circuits.
CONTROLS:
- Impedance Selector: Changes the input impedance value, allowing you to change the tonality of the distortion, dry signal, or any other pedal down the line. Recreates lower impedance sounds of vintage pedals. Allows you to alter/tune the transient/dynamic response of your guitar and signal path.
- LINE/INST Switch - activates the Impedance Selector when set to ‘Inst’. In ‘Line’ position, impedance is fixed.
- DIST - Controls the amount of Distortion.
- FILTER - Controls the tone using a 1-pole Low Pass Filter. The lower the setting, the brighter the sound. Higher settings reduce high frequencies.
- OUTPUT - Controls the overall output volume of the Distortion section/circuit. Increased output headroom so you’ll never go unheard!
- VOICE - Selects the distortion voice.
VOICE SELECTOR:
- OP - Op-Amp circuit where the distortion is generated by the LM308 itself entering clipping.
- LED - unique “soft-clipping” generated using back to back LEDs.
- Si - Silicon diode circuit using back to back silicon diodes.
- Ge - Germanium diode circuit using back to back Schottky diode.
I/O:
- 1/4” Input.
- Dry Out (permanent ‘thru’ dry signal (pre-imp selector)).
- 1/4’ Output.
