The PPSE '79 Hand-Made in Japan by Vin-Antique

The Vin-Antique PPSE’79 is a handmade Japanese overdrive pedal inspired by the classic Tube Screamer circuit from 1979, but heavily modified for greater clarity and responsiveness. Developed by the Kyoto-based brand Vin-Antique, it delivers the familiar mid-focused character of TS-style drives while offering a wider frequency range and more dynamic feel. Its sound is often described as more open and “hi-fi” compared to traditional Tube Screamer designs, with enhanced presence and note separation. The pedal uses asymmetrical silicon diode clipping, producing richer even-order harmonics and a smoother yet more complex overdrive texture. Thanks to its dual power supply design (via charge pump), it achieves improved headroom and articulation. With simple controls and versatile gain range, it works equally well as a main overdrive or as a mid-boost for solos.

Specs:

• Type: Analog overdrive pedal (Tube Screamer–style)
• Circuit Basis: Inspired by 1979 TS808 with major modifications
• Clipping: Asymmetrical silicon diode clipping (rich harmonic content)
• Controls: Volume, Tone, Gain (3-knob layout)
• Tone Voicing: Enhanced treble/presence with wider tone range
• Power Design: Dual power supply via charge pump (increased headroom)
• Bypass: True bypass (Ver.3)
• Input Impedance: Approx. 1 MΩ
• Power Supply: 9V DC (center negative) or 9V battery
• Current Draw: Approx. 10 mA
• Dimensions: ~122 × 67 × 40 mm
• Construction: CNC-machined aluminum enclosure (Ver.3)
• Origin: Japan (Kyoto-based boutique builder)
