VRC
The VRC (Valve React Circuit) in the PowerValve 200 activates an EF91 (CV4014) valve. This jewel in the PowerValve’s crown instantly adds a richer, warmer, more driven, touch sensitive feel to your tone. Obviously this is our recommended way of using it, but it can also be bypassed for those who want a more linear, transistor signal path via the switch on the front panel.
Compact & Versatile
Measuring a pedalboard friendly 130 mm x 300 mm x 295 mm , weighing just 2.4 kg, and encased in road-worthy zinc plated mild steel, the PowerValve 200 has a simple front panel featuring a 3 band EQ (Resonance, Body, Presence) for fine tuning your tone. Detented pots mean that when EQ settings are at the halfway position, they are essentially bypassed.
Balanced Output
We’ve included a balanced input on the PowerValve 200, so the balanced output on your modeller won’t go to waste. An input level control, along with an LED indicator gives the ultimate control when it comes to whichever signal strength is being fed into it.
Outputs
The main speaker output caters for 4O (200W), 8O (100W) and 16O (50W). There is also a dedicated 3.5 mm Headphone output and an analogue Cab Sim via an XLR output ideal for recording or running straight to a desk. The Cab Sim is also switchable on/off via the front panel, and the Headphone level/Cab Sim can be adjusted independently to the main output via the Headphone Level control.
Real CAB VS FRFR
We vigorously tested various modellers running into the PowerValve 200 using several different speaker cabinets from our own catalogue. We then did the same test against the leading FRFR cabs, and we believe there is simply no contest; all of those favoured guitar frequencies, rich harmonics and feedback that are missing in modern day setups are delivered perfectly via the PowerValve 200. It will obviously power any of our speaker cabinets, but we highly recommend our Lunchbox Speaker Cabinet Series as the best companion given its compact size and power.
