High-gain Overdrive/Distortion Pedal with Cab Simulation
With the Vox Cutting Edge overdrive pedal, you can push your signal to high-gain Valhalla. Inspired by the focused tones found on modern recordings, this overdrive pedal delivers brutal tones you won't find anywhere else. The secret behind the Cutting Edge's incredible sound is its onboard tube. That's right, Vox's Nutube technology allows the company to add a running miniature tube to the all-analog design. This amp in a box features an active 3-band EQ and cabinet emulation. . The more you turn it up, the more modern and — you guessed it — tighter it sounds. So you can see how your signal is affected, Vox also included a built-in OLED display with an oscilloscope. Complete with three operating modes and switchable all-analog cab emulation, the Vox Cutting Edge will be there when you're blazing new tonal trails.

Nutube technology
The Cutting Edge overdrive pedal features Vox's Nutube technology to give you the tube feeling that you love without the bulk, heat, or other issues. Through years of research, Vox shrank the traditional vacuum tube down into a minuscule size without sacrificing reliability or durability. With Nutube powering your pedal, you get the punch, sag, and harmonic complexity of a real amp in a pedal format. Meanwhile, internally boosted voltage gives you greater headroom, so you can dial in the perfect amount of breakup.
