The Gale Booster / Limiter pedal is a faithful recreation of the Schaffer-Vega Diversity System, specifically the SoloDallas Storm version 2 from 2019. It is based on the original SVDS released in 1976 by the Vega Corporation, which was the first reliable wireless system for guitar used by major touring acts.

Famous guitarists such as Ace Frehley, David Gilmour, and Eddie Van Halen used the SVDS, but it was Angus Young of AC/DC who had the most significant impact on its tone. Young found that he couldn’t achieve the same sound in the studio as he did on stage, so he used the wireless unit even when recording.

The SVDS, like the SDD-3000 and Echoplex EP-3, became desirable for its coloration even when the main effect wasn’t used. In the pedal adaptation, the wireless components have been removed, leaving only the pregain, limiter, and output amplifier, which make up the core analog signal path of the original unit.

The Gale is a direct adaptation of the SoloDallas Storm with no modifications, except for some added power filtering. It is important to note that Aion FX, the company behind the Gale pedal, is not affiliated with SoloDallas.
