The Dragon Hound by VFE is a dual overdrive + distortion pedal that combines the core circuits from the Alpha Dog and Pale Horse into one unique dirt box. Each circuit has a dedicated drive control, and the blend control can dial in saturated distortion tones that retain the clarity of an overdrive.
Controls:
- A DRIVE: Sets the gain of the Alpha Dog distortion circuit, offering thick,
vintage distortion that is dynamic and responsive.
- P DRIVE: Sets the gain of the Pale Horse overdrive circuit, offering
smooth, transparent drive with better top-end clarity.
- LEVEL: Sets the gain of the mix stage, providing additional boost
capability.
- INTERNAL CONTROL: The internal COMP trimpot sets the compression of the
mosfet clipping section in the Pale Horse.
- FAT: A dual-gang control affecting the low-end response of both the Alpha
Dog & Pale Horse sides simultaneously.
- FILTER: Controls the post-gain, post-mix treble response, allowing for
adjustments to the top-end clarity and bite.
- MIX: Blends between the Pale Horse overdrive and Alpha Dog distortion
circuits, enabling the dialing in of a saturated tone with improved clarity
and dynamics.
Technical Specifications:
- FX TYPE: Distortion
- Enclosure Size: 1590B
- Current Draw: ~33mA
- DC Supply: 9.42v One Spot
