(Image credit: Future / Phil Barker) Feel & Sounds Pedalboard users take note: your power supply needs to provide 12 volts and at least 800mA of current the one that comes with The Copper is rated at two amps, giving plenty of headroom. On the rear panel you’ll find the familiar V4 jack socket array, allowing the V4 to hook up in line between guitar and amp, or in ‘amp through’ mode, making use of your amplifier’s effects loop. Tone control comes from a regular passive bass, mid and treble EQ network, augmented by a three-position bass cut toggle switch and a global tone knob, which works like the Vox cut control except it’s the right way round, with the most treble fully clockwise. There’s a single gain control with two separate master volumes, accompanied by LED indicators to let you know which voice is active. You can also switch both functions remotely using the TRS jack on the side of the case. There are two footswitches on the pedal for bypass and toggling between Normal and Treble Boost voices. Internally, there’s very little free space and yet the electronics are beautifully assembled, with neat hand wiring and top-quality components throughout. It’s worth pointing out that while they’re visually similar, neither valve is interchangeable with the commonly used 12AX7 twin triode the bases have seven pins rather than nine.
