This thing just rips plugged into the RX return of my orange in preamp mode. Love this Valvenergy range of Vox pedals.

Excellent for those vintage to modern metal and hard rock tones.
Excellent for those vintage to modern metal and hard rock tones based on the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. Use the tight control to tighten up the low end for them chugs!!

The best I have tried
I have tried cheaper "Marshall in a box" and more "boutique" pedals and the Vox copperhead blows them all away! Playing ac/ dc the sound is really close. I tried the pedal using the cab sim through a headrush frfr 108 and it sounds great! You can use this pedal as a distortion, preamp, or with cabinet simulation. The search is over . I'm selling the deluxe plexi drive. Good luck!

Very nice DI problem solver
If you are lazy like me and don't care to tote an amp, this is a great pedal. I bought it to replace my old Vox pedal. Very touch sensitive, so nuances come through. I put a compressor in front of it, and go directly into the board.

So nice I bought it twice. Rich harmonics and chime. Very impressed.
This is one of those "sound in your head" pedals that I was chasing after. It has that Vox AC 15 / 30 chime, cut and a harmonic richness that has to be heard. It's so good I'm buying a second one and am itching to try out the rest of the line. Now I understand why they showcased that "Link" switching function in the product demos... I wasn't planning on getting the others, aside from maybe the Copperhead, but I ordered the others today. It's that good.I'm a bedroom player / hobbyist and have been increasingly curious (and occasionally frustrated) by trying to figure out how "that sound" is achieved on an album or live. Of course a lot of it is down to pro mixing, production, quality signal chain / equipment and most importantly, the skill of great players. Still, it irked me that I couldn't get even close to some of those iconic guitar tones, especially certain crunch / distortion ones. I'm amazed at how much of a difference this little red box makes.I've started to tinker around with an interface and a DAW and am just getting into the world of cab sims and impulse responses (IRs). I had no idea that 30-50% of the "sound in my head" came from that end of the equation until recently. As fun as that is, I still want something "plug and play" that sounds great, hence wanting to build a pedalboard and being a bit overwhelmed by the thousands of pedals out there...I've never had a tube amp, so I can't say for certain if that mini-tube makes a huge difference. This does seem to match the technical description of why tube amps sound good, though -- emphasizing certain harmonic overtones over others. It sounds so good that I burned through the included 9V battery in the hour or two of runtime I got out of it right after I popped it in to test. I'm of the opinion that "if it sounds good, it is good" -- if it inspires getting lost in the sound and playing more, then it's worth its weight in gold. (Bonus if it means I buy less pedals in the future and sell off the others I got while searching for sounds like this.)I've been playing it through a digitally modeled practice amp - a Boss JS-10 with a darker neutral-ish clean amp -- think JC-120 or Fender with warm low end -- and it sounds great. The "standard" switch mode is pretty basic and not as clear, chimey, and defined -- probably due to the amp sim I'm using or the signal chain. Perhaps that's for people who want a tube powered stomp distortion / boost with a similar flavour. The "cab" switch mode sounds fine, but seems more like an emergency / fallback option if playing live and something blows up. Cool feature, but to my ears, it's all about the pre-amp mode.Flipping over to the pre-amp mode is like lifting a blanket off the speakers. I can hear all the nuances in my picking attack / muting and less than ideal technique. :) IMHO the pre-amp mode is the main selling point of this series, with the other features being useful bonuses or options. I don't know that I'd even want an AC 15 / 30 now, as this gets me 85 - 95% of the way there (to my ears) with more flexibility in a compact form factor for a fraction of the cost. I don't know how durable it'll be in the long run, but the casing seems solid and the knobs / switches are good. It's likely nowhere near as bombproof as a Boss pedal, but it looks like it'll stand up to a decent amount of abuse.The manual confused me, stating that it a 9V @ 600 mA power supply was recommended. I don't think I saw anything lower listed on the pedal itself either. I thought I needed to buy a special, harder to find power supply from McMaster-Carr or a similar quality supplier? Googled around a bunch and people mentioned a database hosted on the "Stinkfoot.se" website, which has the pedal listed at 95 mA current draw. Seems to run fine off a Boss PSA adapter, so I assume any reasonably decent power supply input will work just fine.

Suena y se siente como un AC30.
Sensación de tocar ampli real. Sonido Vox muy logrado. Su fuerte es el modo preamp. Conectado a un buen emulador de pantalla tipo UAFXOX stomp suena increíble. CONS, El control de volumen es demasiado sensible a los cambios. La simulación de altavoz es aceptable.En general, la relación calidad precio es excelente.

Das Teil klingt gut. Es ist vielseitig verwertbar. Entweder als Pedal vor dem Clean Kanal oder als Preamp in eine Powersection oder direkt in ein Audio-Interface. Vox kann Vox. Also wer AC30 liebt, der wird auch dieses Pedal lieben. Ich finde es jedenfalls geil und ist bei mir im Dauereinsatz.
