Tube technology, selected high-voltage components, dynamics through high-voltage technology and an uncompromising analogue signal path.

The BL 800 goes exactly this way. AVTC - Analog Virtual Tube Circuit, selected high-voltage components, 280V operating voltage and completely analog signal path. The BL 800 is built like a real tube amp, with the same components, and that's exactly how it sounds!

The BL 800 delivers a clearly defined, tight sound with lots of attack. In addition, there is a playing dynamic reaction to the potentiometer of the guitar that only good tube amplifiers can achieve. The gain reserves surpass the good old JCM800, especially when you switch on the boost. Without activated boost, the BL 800 is an exact sound copy of the JCM 800 with a little more gain, with activated boost there is a decent extra boost of gain.

AVTC – Analog Virtual Tube Circuit: This is a newly developed assembly of FETs and other components that exactly simulate a tube. The development of the circuit took more than 4 years, the result is an equivalent tube replacement that behaves like a 12AX7 tube electrically and in terms of sound.

The BL 800 is a true bypass pedal, it switches purely mechanically but without the typical switching noises, which are reduced to a minimum. When switched off, it is completely removed from the signal chain.
