Introducing the V550 preamp pedal that embodies a charismatic sonic profile reminiscent of the original tapping guitar god: Eddie van Halen.
The foundation of the V550 is rooted in a true modern amp classic from the 90s, and we went ‘that extra mile’ over and over again in our quest to model the essence of this amp. We were committed to reaching perfection, ensuring that every aspect of the sound, look, and feel was flawlessly executed before presenting you with this high-gain monster of a pedal.
Not only did we achieve that, but we also went above and beyond by incorporating a few additional features. In conclusion, we’re confident that once you plug into V550, you’re gonna love it!

In digital amp modelling, there are various approaches available. However, our primary objective was to marry accuracy with simplicity - to perfectly replicate just one iconic amplifier rather than overwhelming you with an excessive range of amp models and versions.
We aimed to capture the essence of this iconic amp with unparalleled precision and keep the control layout intuitive, allowing you to navigate your high-gain tone effortlessly. By eliminating unnecessary complexities, we enable you to focus entirely on making some of that (good) noise!
V550 simply distils the essential elements you expect from an authentic amp and presents them in a compact package with a small footprint. In short, you get a perfect balance of accuracy and simplicity, which lets you completely immerse yourself in your musical expression and nothing else.
