Our take

Who this one is for

The Volture is a voltage sag box. It sits between your power supply and a pedal and trims the voltage that pedal receives, to recreate a fuzz running on a dying battery. Vintage fuzz circuits are very sensitive to supply voltage, and the Volture lets you set that sweet spot precisely and come back to it, without draining batteries to find it.

It takes 9V, 12V or 18V DC in and puts out anything from 7.5V down to 1.25V DC, center negative, over standard 2.1mm cables. As you turn it down the sound goes gated, distorted, sometimes glitchy and always sputtery, and the LED dims along with the voltage. It was developed for vintage fuzz but works on any fully analog pedal drawing less than 50mA, and overdrives and distortions can turn up some unusual sounds too. Never use it with a digital or logic-based pedal, which the low voltage can damage. Built in Kansas City.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when it reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before it arrives.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before it leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are paying in full. Pick Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout in Canada or the US, or PayPlan by RBC in Canada. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
