Vintage Ultra has the following extra features that the basic model does not have: 1. Master Volume control for controlling the total output volume. 2. Separate footswitch for activating the distortion. 3. Three-position switch for each Mid control which alllow you to tailor the sound to suit your setup.
- Controls:
Master: Controls the output volume level of the pedal.
Blend: Mixes clean signal into the overdriven signal. Clean sound always stays at unity gain, whereas the volume of the drive is determined by the Level control.
Level: Sets the volume level for the overdrive.
