OVERDRIVE ACLAM Dr. Robert ...a clone of a Vox UL730 amps preamp. Useful ? Cool YES.

 ACLAM DR. ROBERT 

$325.00 USD

In the 60's bands like the Beatles and Stones were using Vox amps like the still famous and stellar Vox AC30. Later they switched to the UL series. Only about 100 amps were made. It was very short lived.
It had a tube power amp but the preamp was solid state. Aclam has reproduced it using NOS transistors so it literally is the same as the original. They have added a bit more gain if you need it but cloning the original sound is a given.


The preamp is virtually clean it is the power amp that gives the OD. So that has been emulated with a modern  FET  saturation and a 'Mach Schaul' designed circuit for both a crunch and higher gain that is switchable.

Sorry kids but there isn't a serious independent English speaking  review yet. So we will have to muddle thru in Polish.

CONCLUSION

It is a quirky hybrid of old and new but great fun. I always love having one or two OD's that give me some variety in my tone. BUT as a main OD most will find it limited.

BUT... it is damn unique and as a song writer I can see it could be very inspiring.
