The first Vivie Professional series namesake with the best tone We thoroughly analyzed the acoustic characteristics of many high-end amplifiers and studio equipment amplifiers such as Roland JC-120, Marshall JCM900, and JCM2000 to develop the IRENE66. MINERVA is an overdrive based on this analysis data. Named after the first Vivie Professional, the MINERVA is a magical effector that can transform the sound of any amp into the ultimate tone.

JC/MS switch In JC mode, you can use the JC-120 and other combo amps for optimal sound. Combo amps are often more balanced in the mid-range than stacked amps, but by flipping a switch, you can produce quality tones without losing any of the guitar's tone or the nuances of the player. MS mode is more suitable for stacked amplifiers such as the Marshall. The internal circuitry adjusts the low and high frequencies appropriately to produce a glossy and sexy tone while maintaining the power of the bass and crispness of the treble. Each combo amp and stack amp is tuned to match the points, but the JC-120 does not have MS mode that cannot be used. It can be switched to suit your amp or guitar.

TUBE control It is a control that simulates the acoustic characteristics of the most highly rated amplifier. It can give the skin a taut, saturated and shiny middle. If you prefer a tight, crisp sound, we recommend setting it lower, and you'll get a great sound at any position, from 0 to full.

Wide gain range When the gain control of the MINERVA is set to 0, it sounds like a preamp with a clean tone, as if a tube amp is distorted a little when played at high volume. At full gain, you can drive hard rock with the MINERVA alone. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to play despite being distorted so hard. You can easily output any high-quality drive sound from low gain to full gain.
