Description

Discover the VS Audio Royal Flush, an overdrive effects pedal that masterfully bridges the gap between vintage and modern tones. Crafted in Greece, this pedal is a testament to precision and quality, designed to cater to both electric guitar and bass enthusiasts.

This pedal's dual-channel configuration allows you to explore a wide spectrum of overdrive sounds with fluidity. Channel 1 gives you a low-gain overdrive that emulates the warm, early breakup of a classic tube amp, perfect for rhythm tones that demand clarity and finesse. Channel 2, on the other hand, ramps up to a medium gain that delivers a creamy, amp-like distortion crunch, ideal for solos that need to sing with richness and sustain.

Each channel features its own set of controls—Gain, Volume, and Tone—ensuring you have complete command over your sound. The intuitive layout is complemented by status LEDs and dedicated footswitches for each channel, making on-the-fly adjustments seamless.

True bypass circuitry ensures your tone remains pristine when the pedal is not engaged, while a robust 6.3 mm input and output jack configuration supports your setup. The Royal Flush operates via a 9V DC power supply (adapter not included), with a power consumption of just 25 mA, making it both efficient and reliable for gigging musicians.

Key Features:

  • Dual-channel overdrive with separate controls for each channel
  • Channel 1: Low gain for tube amp “early break-up” overdrive
  • Channel 2: Medium gain for creamy amp-like distortion
  • True bypass circuitry
  • Power via 9V DC adapter (not included)
  • Made in Greece
  • Dimensions: 119 x 94 x 34 mm

Great pedal to add a bit of subtle break-up

I leave this pedal on pretty much all the time if I am not using my fuzz (and sometimes both). It gives a great, subtle break-up at higher volumes and melts into the background when you want it to.

It's maybe a bit too heavy on the treble with both channels engaged, so I tend to use one at a time.
