PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Versatile three-channel structure for classic high-gain tones The Vesta presents a collection of gain voices inspired by respected amplifiers from the 80s and 90s. The Clean channel mirrors the design used in the Ceres pedal which helps players who want a clear unaffected base tone. The Rhythm and Lead channels provide increasing levels of saturation shaped to complement six-string instruments. Each gain control ranges from subtle breakup to heavy drive which keeps the transition between tones smooth. The response is thick and low-mid focused which suits players seeking a more vintage character. The pedal also reacts cleanly to changes in guitar volume which allows dynamic control without adjusting settings mid performance. Bypass modes suited to a range of setups The three bypass modes give the pedal notable flexibility. True Bypass and Buffered Bypass provide clean routing for players who want an unaffected signal when the pedal is disengaged. Clean Bypass activates the Clean channel which uses the upper Tone and Volume controls. This system allows the Vesta to function as a full preamp when placed before a power amp or effects loop return. It also integrates well at the front of a pedalboard for players who want to run into a clean amplifier. Each mode supports different routing needs which makes the pedal suitable for both simple and more complex systems. Switch functions that mirror full-size KSR amplifiers The Bright switch enhances attack and becomes more prominent at lower gain settings. The Feel switch offers Fat Tight or Thick responses that adjust low-end focus and pick sensitivity. The Mode switch moves between Crunch Full Saturation and Vintage High Gain which helps you select the gain texture that suits your style. Time-based effects such as delay or chorus sit best after the Vesta before reaching the power amp. Players using loop switchers can place effects between the Vesta and power stage for further control. These functions help the pedal capture the behaviour of full-size KSR designs while remaining convenient on a pedalboard. Reliable connections and external control options Top mounted jacks support efficient routing on crowded boards. The control port accepts TRS connections for remote channel switching which makes it simple to integrate the pedal into advanced rigs. Power is supplied through a standard 9V DC input that requires up to 200 mA. Internal voltage generation ensures optimal performance and protects the electronics from higher voltages. With straightforward connectivity and a wide control range the Vesta provides a dependable foundation for players seeking classic high gain in a flexible and compact format. Features Three-channel preamp pedal with voices inspired by classic 80s and 90s high-gain amps Rhythm and Lead channels offer thick smooth low-mid focused gain tones ideal for 6-string players Clean channel shared with the Ceres&trade
