Description

The Volta Custom 1987 V2 is a powerhouse overdrive pedal crafted to capture the legendary roar of classic British amps cranked to their limits. It’s designed to recreate the searing tones of the JTM45, the iconic 1959 Super Lead, and the ferocious 1987 Super Lead, amps that defined rock’s most explosive sounds. From vintage growl to high gain punch, this pedal channels the spirit of a Plexi amp pushed to the max, delivering rich harmonic saturation and the raw intensity that shaped rock history.

With two distinct channels, "ON" and "11," the Volta Custom 1987 V2 is like having a dynamic single channel amp in pedal form, each with its own unique level of heat. The “ON” channel provides organic, harmonically rich tones, while the “11” channel takes it even further, adding depth and aggression. This design responds intuitively to your playing, cleaning up beautifully with your guitar's volume control or touch for that truly amp like feel. And it’s versatile enough to handle other pedals in front of it, letting you shape your sound even more.

Equipped with intuitive controls, the Volta Custom 1987 V2 offers a range of tones for any style. The Drive control spans from semi clean to full bore crunch, and the Tone knob, paired with a 3 position Tight switch, helps you refine your sound to suit both single coils and humbuckers. The Tight switch adjusts the pedal’s character, from full and grainy, to tight and defined, and finally a mix that’s fat on the boosted channel and tight on the regular. The 3 position Mids toggle works with the Mids control to dial in your preferred mid frequency emphasis: scooped for metal tones, flat for balance, or a pronounced mid-hump to cut through any mix.

Hand built in Italy, the Volta Custom 1987 V2 is a top quality creation from Volta Custom, with a rugged, all metal enclosure built to withstand heavy gigging. The Volta Custom 1987 V2’s bold graphics and clear LED power indicator make it as striking as it is durable. Its true bypass circuitry ensures a pure, unaffected signal when the pedal is disengaged, preserving your tone across the board.

Using analogue circuitry, the Volta Custom 1987 V2 promises rich, warm overdrive that sounds as close to a real amp as possible. With jacks conveniently placed on the top for easy setup, the Volta Custom 1987 V2 integrates smoothly into any pedalboard. Backed by a robust warranty, the Volta Custom 1987 V2 is ready to take on stage and studio work alike, combining vintage inspired tones with modern durability.

From the classic sounds of rock to the most intense overdrive, the Volta Custom 1987 V2 delivers it all in a sleek, thoughtfully crafted package. Perfect for those looking to infuse their sound with legendary British amp tones, this pedal is a true homage to rock history, bringing authentic tone and modern performance to every player.
