Description
Unleash the power of authentic tube distortion with the Vox Cooltron CT01DS Bulldog Distortion Pedal. Crafted for guitarists who crave versatility in their sound, this pedal features a 12AU7 preamp-type tube that delivers genuine tube tone in a compact, battery-powered package. The innovative Cooltron technology allows the tube to operate effectively at low voltages, ensuring long-lasting performance without compromising on tonal quality.
The Bulldog Distortion Pedal offers dual channels, each equipped with independent Gain and Volume controls to switch between vintage warmth and modern aggression. Gain 1 provides classic distortion tones, while Gain 2 delivers a more contemporary sound with slightly scooped mids. With the Gain 2 Voice control, you can fine-tune your tone for the second channel, allowing for a tailored sonic experience. Whether you want to add a subtle edge or go full throttle, this pedal adapts to your needs.
A Bass control adds depth and thump to your sound, while the Treble control can take you from piercing highs to smooth, rounded tones. True bypass ensures your signal remains pure when the pedal is off, preserving the integrity of your original sound. Designed for musicians who demand both innovation and reliability, the Bulldog Distortion is the perfect addition to any pedalboard.
Key Features:
- 12AU7 preamp-type tube for authentic tube distortion
- Dual channels with independent Gain and Volume controls
- Gain 2 Voice control for customized tone shaping
- Bass and Treble controls for versatile tonal adjustments
- True bypass to maintain signal clarity

In this Youtube video, at '11:54', during "New York City Cops" Nick Valensi kicks on the Vox Bulldog Distortion (and MXR Micro Amp) for his guitar solo. Also can be seen in the center of his pedalboard in a photo taken in 2006 when they performed at "Top of the Pops" (I believe others have posted this photo).
