Vemuram Shanks 3K Tri-Sound Overdrive Boost Guitar Effects Pedal

This is a single germanium full range booster, co-produced by famous Grammy Award winning producer-writer-guitarist, John Shanks. Based on the Dallas Rangemaster, used by big names like Brian May, Richie Blackmore, and Tommy Iommi, we put in some tweaks with the advice of John which then added a Sola Sound Tone Bender Professional mkII vibe, which Jimmy Page used in Led Zeppelin, giving Shanks a hybrid characteristic.
For the sound, we used difficult to find vintage hand picked N.O.S condensers. For the power outlet, we use state of the art tech which allows the great tone with a noiseless boost and wide head room.

The Bass knob allows to create a full range boost.

From a clean sparkle to crunch and for a full boost that can drive like a Tonebender.

PLEASE NOTE:  Inherent in this pedal is some noise when adjustments are made to any potentiometer but the Bass pot.  This is the way the pedal works.  I have checked this with Vemuram.  Returns will not be accepted for "scratchy pots" as they are not "scratchy", that is just how the pedal works.  This sound is only heard when adjusting settings and does not have anything to do with the sound of your instrument when playing.

From Vemuram:

"Thank you for the email and the support.  Regarding the Shanks 3K, just to refresh my memory I have tried plugging in our Shanks 3K demo pedal at our office.  When turning the Bias trim pot, Sparkle trim pot, Level knob and Gain knob, the noise will generate.  However, when you turn the Bass knob, you won’t hear the scratchy noises.  Please advise this is an operating function."
