Coopersonic Dual Valve Distortion

Dual-Valve Distortion

The pedal that started it all off here at Coopersonic. Two military-spec Soviet valves running at high voltage give you a wide range of drive tones from a subtle crunch to outrageous over-the-top distortion. Powerful two-band EQ to further shape the tone.

This is a germanium fuzzbox with a difference: the unique “mania” control. This introduces positive feedback and creates instability and self-oscillation opening up a world of crazy tones—from very nasty fuzz to wild, octave-jumping synth-like sounds.

Deluxe Dual-Valve Distortion

The Deluxe Dual-Valve Distortion replaces our “Deluxe Valve Overdrive”, and has Vintage Mullard ECC81 valves fitted, and some component changes. This gives a subtler and smoother driven sound with a little less gain, but it still gets pretty gnarly at high gain settings.

While many valve overdrive pedals are designed to act as a low- to medium-gain preamp, the Valveslapper is most definitely a distortion device. Sharing the same taste for edgy, aggressive distortion as the rest of the Coopersonic range, this is most definitely not a smooth blues machine! Classic rock, punk and even metal, however, are on the menu, but the Valveslapper is not just about top-end bite and break-up. The sounds on offer are full-bodied and solid in the low end too. For anyone with a good-quality single-channel valve amp who wants to instantly add a distortion channel, this could be the ideal solution.

[The Coopersonic Germaniac] is a killer fuzz pedal. There’s no flashy design, but you plug it in and you can play it for hours. It’s mad. Can’t really go wrong if you want something a bit different. It’s a really, really cool pedal.

Afro Review of Germaniac

Rabea Masaad

The Valveslapper… is a rugged, hand-built distortion pedal that comes complete with 12V DC adaptor needed to power the two onboard valves, which shape its sonic character, up to high voltage.

Great range of distortion; EQ; build.

If sticking a couple of overdriven valves and a righteous amount of boost in front of your amp to get it screaming appeals, then this is the pedal to do it.
