Color

The Volga Preamp religiously recreates the crystal cleans and moderate saturation of the Sovtek MIG 50 amp. Designed entirely with JFETS that have been meticulously and exhaustively voiced, paired, and biased to match the frequency response of one very special MIG 50 - mine (serial #000931).

Plenty of chime on tap, a touch of compression, natural-sounding amp-like breakup, a generous dose of low end harmonics, and punchy mids if you want’m.

The controls include volume on your overall output, a three-way channel switch that lets you choose between the different voicings of channel I (warm) and channel II (bright). Or, get the best of both worlds and run them together. The three-band EQ (treble, middle, bass), and presence control interact just like the amp, so ...you know, think “amp” not “pedal” when dialing it in.

Amazing!

This pedal is absolutely spectacular! Goes anywhere on your pedal board, there is no way to go wrong really. Experiment with it and find out for yourself. Time and money well spent! Ridiculously responsive and explosive with boosters. This is a beast that will devour the rest of your board! Fall in love with music again! it is that good. Thanks HB for yet another triumph! It's the one you've been looking for, even if you didn't know it. Nothing else quite like it. Amazing work!

A Preamp You Can Feel

Based on other HBE pedals I have and my affinity for this style amp, I knew I couldn’t go wrong. And, it delivers to the Nth degree. The articulation and nuance are just like playing said amp, giving it that feel that runs from my fingers straight to my soul. F’ing magical. If it tweaks your interest when can score one, you won’t be disappointed.

this is history

All of this modern guitar amp Impulse Response stuff is fine but the detail and care and enthusiasm and diligence and passion that created VOLGA ... VOLGA is a unique creation and I purchased immediately because this kind of innovation happens sooooo infrequently in the modern music pedal market. Heather Brown Electronicals & Volga for the win !! thanks

Far more than I expected

The Volga is just gorgeous. At once lush and muscular. It's provided my amp with that sense of *sparkle* I've been looking for in the cleans (all the way to breakup), and feeds a full-throated roar when I'm digging into hi-gain territory. I couldn't be happier with the Volga. Honestly.
