The VFE Focus is a versatile mid boost pedal designed in collaboration with Adam “Nolly” Getgood from Periphery. It is a better alternative to traditional tubescreamer-style overdrives used for clean mid boosts. The pedal features variable bass and treble cut filters, allowing control over top end grit and low frequency saturation. The filters are adjustable, allowing players to fine-tune the response of their guitar and amplifier.

The controls on the Focus include:

– TIGHT: Sets the frequency roll off point of the variable bass cut. Turning it counterclockwise cuts bass frequencies for a tighter bottom end. Range: 70Hz to 1.5kHz.
– SMOOTH: Sets the frequency roll off point of the variable treble cut. Turning it clockwise cuts treble frequencies for a smoother top end. Range: 320Hz to 7.2kHz.
– LEVEL: Sets the gain of the output stage, providing up to 26dB of extra clean boost.
– MIX: Blends between the dry signal (counterclockwise) and the EQ signal (clockwise), allowing control over the strength of the bass and treble cuts.
– SLOPE: Toggles each band between a 1-pole and 2-pole cut filter, affecting the sharpness of the frequency rolloff.
– INTERNAL CONTROL: The internal MAKEUP trimpot sets the makeup gain of the dry signal path, allowing players to adjust the relative volume of the EQ and dry signal paths or add more clean boost to the dry signal path.

The VFE Focus is the ultimate mid boost pedal, offering a wide range of control over the tone and response of the guitar and amplifier. It is suitable for guitarists looking to achieve a tightened and smoothed sound, commonly heard in rock and metal genres.
