TrueSoft Bypass
We combine durable true bypass relay switching with an effect-side FET switch for pure and smooth switching.
Low Noise Op Amps
Modern, high-speed op amps were chosen for their low-noise & high-fidelity properties.
Extended Headroom
A simple voltage inverter circuit was used to effectively turn 9V into 18V. More voltage means more headroom & bigger tone.
DualMode Switching
DualMode Switching can convert the footswitch into momentary operation.
To use, wait 5 seconds, then press the sequence tap+tap+hold until LED flashes
USA Made PCBs
Our circuit boards are made in the USA by Advanced Circuits (large PCB runs) or OSH Park (small PCB runs).
Custom Alpha Pots
The SPEED and FEEDBACK controls are built in the USA with custom-designed tapers made for the Tractor Beam.
All VFE Pedals are built with these quality components and features:
– Rugged diecast aluminum enclosures
– TrueSoft + DualMode true bypass switching
– Industrial-grade Carling switches & Neutrik audio jacks
– Alpha pots soldered directly to PCB
– 5% WIMA film capacitors & 1% metal film resistors
– Cardas Audio ultra-pure, eutectic silver solder
– P3 system phantom-power compatible
– Built by hand in Puyallup, WA, USA
