FX Pedal Planet Online Store is delighted to share exciting news from Volta Custom, a brand rapidly gaining recognition among tone driven guitarists for its distinctive approach to sound and design. As the exclusive UK dealer for Volta Custom, FX Pedal Planet Online Store is proud to announce the arrival of the newly launched Jailbreaker pedal and to tease an upcoming twin tape delay currently in development.

Volta Custom has built a strong reputation for creating effects that capture the feel and response of classic amplifiers. Their range includes dynamic overdrives, boosts, and amp in a box pedals designed to give players the same expressive control and harmonic richness found in the finest tube amps. Built for musicians who care deeply about tone and reliability, each pedal is engineered to deliver authentic sound without compromise.

The Volta Custom Jailbreaker is the latest addition to Volta’s line up and represents a bold step forward in amp simulation. Rather than recreating the familiar BluesBreaker pedal, Volta Custom has captured the character of the legendary JTM45 “Beano” era combo amp and condensed it into a rugged pedal enclosure. The result is the experience of a vintage tube amplifier, complete with dynamic response, compression and harmonics, ready to drop onto any pedalboard.

At its core, the Volta Custom Jailbreaker delivers the tone and touch sensitivity of a true valve amp. It responds naturally to picking dynamics, from shimmering cleans to rich, saturated drive. The dual channel design gives players instant access to two gain stages: a standard channel for rhythm tones and a “HOT” channel that pushes further into sustain and saturation. The HOT DRV control layers gain on top of your existing setting, turning a solid rhythm tone into a soaring lead at the tap of a switch. Meanwhile, the HOT LVL control ensures solos cut through the mix, offering either matched volume or an extra boost for standout moments.

The pedal’s Tight switch gives players control over the low end, switching between a relaxed, vintage response or a tighter, more focused bass suited to heavier playing styles. The Mojo switch introduces the feel of power amp saturation and tube rectifier sag, that subtle compression and punch that define the sound of a cranked vintage amp. Combined with the responsive Gain, Tone, and Volume controls, the Volta Custom Jailbreaker moves effortlessly from light breakup to full bodied distortion. Built with true bypass switching, a durable powder coated aluminium enclosure, and professional grade components, it’s designed to withstand life on the road and in the studio.

Volta Custom drew considerable attention at Guitar Summit 2025 with not one, but two new creations: the Volta Custom Jailbreaker and a forthcoming Twin Tape Delay. While the delay pedal has yet to be officially launched, it was recently demonstrated by Buddy Blues and Sasha Ivantic to an enthusiastic audience in Germany. Early impressions suggest that it’s a dual tape style delay, featuring two independent echo paths that can be combined or modulated to emulate the warmth and depth of vintage tape units. Observers noted rich modulation and wow and flutter effects that recreate the organic movement of real tape, along with the level of build quality Volta Custom has become known for.

Although full specifications are still under wraps, the Twin Tape Delay is expected to offer a wide range of tones, from subtle slapback to expansive ambient textures, while maintaining the clarity and reliability of a modern design. It’s one to watch, and FX Pedal Planet Online Store will carry it as soon as it’s officially released.

The Volta Custom Jailbreaker will be available now from FX Pedal Planet Online Store, and the upcoming Twin Tape Delay will follow once production models are ready. Customers can purchase through our website or via Reverb.com. However, prices on our website are typically around 10 % lower than on Reverb due to the platform’s selling fees.

Musicians are encouraged to follow Volta Custom on social media for the latest updates, product launches, and sound demos. FX Pedal Planet Online Store is proud to represent Volta Custom in the UK and looks forward to bringing players the best of their innovation and tone, from the raw amplifier feel of the Volta Custom Jailbreaker to the upcoming twin tape delay that’s already creating a buzz in the guitar world.
