FX - Valve Radio

 

 

The Valve Radio FX unit is a unique device, which functions equally well as a dual filter and also a distortion device. The combination of these two effects can product many types of vintage radio and telephone speaker simulation effects. This unit also includes a simple noise gate on Page 2.
