Dr. Henning Vahlbruch has been producing very fine and no-fuss pedals from his workshop in Germany for sometime now. These pedals are built to the highest standards and include his own innovations such as the MagTraB (MagneticTransducerButton) which is a magnetic, contactless footswitch that can go pretty forever without issue. Then there's the amazing sound these pedals generate. The Kaluna II High Voltage Tube Drive has an internal 12AX7 at its heart, running at 250V. This is no gimmick - you can really feel and hear the dynamics. You'll get three modes or 'structures': V1, Hot and Low. Between them and the three-band post-distortion EQ, there's little this pedal cannot do and it does it all well. Have a look and listen to the video and hopefully you'll understand my enthusiasm. Rock on. From Germany with love.
