The Killer V is an all-analog vibrato and amp-style overdrive pedal inspired by a series of unique and character-rich amplifiers built in California during the 1950s and 60s. Known for their warm tone and distinct pitch-shifting vibrato circuits, these amps served as the blueprint for Killer V, which recreates their sonic character in a compact pedal format.

Every detail of those classic designs was carefully studied and reproduced. From the behavior of the preamp and phase inverter to the power amp response and the compression of a tube rectifier, Killer V delivers the feel, sag, and dynamic response of a vintage tube amp. Using all-analog JFET technology and an internal voltage multiplier for increased headroom, the pedal captures everything from smooth cleans to rich, saturated overdrive with a truly tube-like feel.

The vibrato section is the heart of Killer V. It uses a fully analog LFO to drive two discrete phase-shifting stages, creating a lush and musical pitch modulation that enhances the depth and movement of your tone. This vibrato effect replicates the true pitch-shifting behavior found in the original amp circuits, offering a natural, immersive quality that adds dimension and texture.

To expand its tonal palette even further, Killer V includes the ability to mix in dry, unmodulated signal in parallel with the modulated path. This creates swirling, phaser-like textures and rich vibe-style tones, reminiscent of the best classic modulation effects.

Whether you're chasing vintage amp flavor, dynamic overdrive, or authentic analog vibrato, Killer V brings a piece of history to your pedalboard with warmth, depth, and unmistakable character.
