Description

Unleash the legendary tones of yesteryear with the PLX FX Spirytus Distortion Pedal, a masterful tribute to the iconic Ampeg VH140C preamp. Revered by extreme metal bands from the '90s to today, this pedal distills the ferocity of those iconic sounds into a compact, pedalboard-friendly unit. Engineered to cater to those seeking high-gain aggression, the Spirytus offers a faithful recreation of the VH140C's revered preamp section, delivering a robust and brutal distortion that will satisfy even the most discerning tone chasers.

The Spirytus Distortion Pedal is armed with intuitive controls that give you full command over your sound. The sensitive Mid control, inspired by the original's "Ultra Mid," lets you sculpt the heart of your tone with precision, shifting the focus across the EQ spectrum without adding or subtracting mids. Whether you're plugging directly into a power amp or inserting it into an amplifier's power section, the Spirytus adapts seamlessly, thanks to its versatile design.

True to PLX FX's commitment to quality, the pedal features a true bypass circuit, ensuring your signal remains untouched when not in use. With a robust laser-etched enclosure and high-quality components, this is a pedal built to endure the rigors of the road while consistently delivering devastating tones.
