VOX Copperhead Drive Valvenergy
Valve-Style British Distortion/Preamp Pedal with Nutube Technology
The VOX Copperhead Drive Valvenergy is a distortion/preamp pedal designed to recreate the powerful sound of classic British full-stack amplifiers, iconic in ’80s rock and hard rock. Thanks to innovative Nutube technology, it delivers an authentic dynamic response and a natural tube-like feel, with strong clarity, punch, and sonic presence.
Its fully analog circuit provides a warm, rich, and highly responsive tone, allowing players to move seamlessly from crunchy overdrive to thick, saturated distortion. The comprehensive 3-band EQ (Bass, Middle, Treble) combined with the Bright switch offers precise tonal shaping for any musical context.
Highly versatile, the Copperhead Drive can be used as a standard stompbox, as a preamp directly into a power amp, or in cab sim mode for direct recording into a mixer or audio interface—no amplifier required.
Its compact, rugged design and built-in OLED display with oscilloscope function make it a professional-grade solution for both stage and studio use.
