It can deliver up to 450ms delay time with an incredibly low noise distortion and repeats from one repeat to endless repeats.

Vick Audio Overdriver
Vick Audio’s Overdriver is an overdrive virtually similar to the 18V Colorsound Power Booster popularized by Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd. The sole remarkable difference is the inclusion of volume control, which make the unit more functional. The Overdriver works well with tube amps to deliver an incredibly clean and transparent overdrive at lower gain ranges or a heavy fuzz at maximum gain settings.

Compressor
Vick Audio R-Comp
The R-Comp from Vick Audio is a re-creation of the well-loved Ross Compressor. Authentic Ross Compressors were manufactured only for several years in the late 1970s. These units have established a cult-like following but are very elusive and pricey. The R-Comp serves up a response similar to the original Ross units. It opens up your tone at higher sustain settings and boasts a warm, natural-sounding compression at lower settings. Hand-wired and boutique quality, the R-Comp comes in a powder-coated chassis.

Vick Audio V-2
The V-2 by Vick Audio is based on the beloved Pete Cornish G-2 distortion, but not an exact reproduction. It is crafted as a true bypass pedal. The input buffer is available when the pedal is engaged not when off. The V-2 is a beautiful-sounding overdrive and distortion circuit with lots of headroom and sustain. At lower sustain settings, it gives you superior overdriven tones with exceptional harmonic. At higher settings, you have full-on singing distortion evocative of the cranked Marshall amp.

Vick Audio V1 Triangle
Revered for its exceptional clarity and raw power, the V1 Triangle by Vick Audio is an incredibly musical distortion with plenty of sustain. The significant drawback of vintage Triangles was their extremely scooped mids. For this classic reproduction, Vick Audio incorporated a three-position toggle switch to let you select your preferred mids profile. The Triangles have slightly more sustain and brightness than most of the later variants that enables it to slice through the mix. The V1 Triangle is extremely articulate for leads while preserving enough crunch for rhythm work or power chords.

Vick Audio Violet Ram’s Head
The Violet Ram’s Head from Vick Audio is perhaps the most distinctive sounding of the 70s style fuzz classic re-creations. It is an incredibly high gain pedal like the early 73 Ram’s Heads and Triangles, but its fuzz features a smoother texture reminiscent of some Russian models. The thing that makes this version special is its higher voicing. The Violet Ram’s Head could be perfect for those individuals with its brighter voicing and smooth, saturated fuzz. It comes in a powder-coated enclosure.
