Description

The Volta Custom 1987 PRO is a modern take on the classic British rock tone, packing the power of a full analogue amplifier into a pedal format. Inspired by legendary rackmount units from the '80s and '90s, this dual overdrive pedal delivers the rich saturation that shaped the history of rock, now with enhanced versatility for today’s guitarist.

The Volta Custom 1987 PRO boasts 12 recallable presets, offering the flexibility of having 12 independent “Amp in a Box” setups. With its expression pedal input, you can control all parameters in real time, seamlessly morphing between channels as if you had multiple pedals at your feet. Whether you need subtle harmonic overdrive or full blown hot rodded distortion, the Volta Custom 1987 PRO delivers it all with the tap of a foot.

The sound of the Volta Custom 1987 PRO is designed to respond to your playing dynamics and guitar volume, offering a natural, tube like feel that cleans up beautifully when you roll off the volume. For an instant boost, hit the ELEVEN button to engage a meaty, hot rodded sound, perfect for solos or heavier sections.

Its controls offer extensive tone shaping options. The DRIVE knob gives you everything from touch sensitive semi clean tones to the saturated crunch that defines classic rock records. The TIGHT switch, with its three positions, tailors the saturation to single coils or humbuckers, offering fat, classic, or tight voicings. Use the TONE knob with the TIGHT switch to dial in a wide range of sonic textures, while the MIDS control allows for everything from scooped metal tones to mid heavy leads that cut through any mix. The PRESENCE switch provides three settings to refine the high end, giving you complete control over your sound. The LEVEL control adjusts the overall volume of the active channel, making sure you always sit perfectly in the mix.

Hand built with precision, the Volta Custom 1987 PRO is housed in a durable, all metal enclosure with a textured powder coat finish, reminiscent of amplifier tolex. The pedal’s unique graphics are as striking as its sound, and a handy power indicator keeps you informed when it’s engaged. The relay based bypass ensures your signal remains pristine when the pedal is switched off.

With top mounted jacks for easy pedalboard integration and powered by a standard 9V DC power supply, the Volta Custom 1987 PRO is designed for gigging musicians who demand reliability and tone. Backed by a warranty, this pedal is built to withstand the demands of the road.

In summary, the Volta Custom 1987 PRO is a powerhouse overdrive/distortion pedal that combines classic British saturation with modern functionality. Whether you’re chasing vintage tones or something more aggressive, the 1987 PRO offers unmatched flexibility and tone shaping options, making it an essential tool for any guitarist.
