Since none of the Vox UL series had a master volume control the user had to turn it all the way up to bring the amp into saturation, and believe us, this thing is loud. To solve that, we put the Vol control at the end of the FET section, so now the volume control on the original amp turns into a gain knob on the Dr. Robert. At lower settings, the Gain knob will produce a clean tone, but as you approach the 12’o-clock mark, the FET section will start entering the saturation region. \u003cstrong\u003eHave in mind that due to Dr. Robert’s great dynamics, different types of guitars and pickups will affect the clean range of the Gain knob.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMIDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThis is the most critical knob to tailor your sound.\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most equalizer circuits (which get placed after or before the volume control) Vox separated the mids control from the rest of the tone stack in the UL730. In this preamp, the signal gets amplified first, followed by the Middle control before the volume pot. After this, Vox placed a special gain stage, coupled with the Bass and Treble controls. Thus, \u003cstrong\u003eyou can control the midrange without interacting with the rest of the eq, as traditional tone stacks do.\u003c\/strong\u003e By turning it counterclockwise, it will subtract a great amount of mid-range, creating a really interesting scooped sound. Turning it clockwise will bring mid frequencies and the overall gain builds up hitting harder the EL84 tubes, creating saturation. \u003cstrong\u003eJust like the real amp does,\u003c\/strong\u003e Dr. Robert’s “Middle” control has the same behavior, thanks to the FET section specially tuned to mimic the power amp saturation on the UL730.

Since none of the Vox UL series had a master volume control the user had to turn it all the way up to bring the amp into saturation, and believe us, this thing is loud. To solve that, we put the Vol control at the end of the FET section, so now the volume control on the original amp turns into a gain knob on the Dr. Robert. At lower settings, the Gain knob will produce a clean tone, but as you approach the 12’o-clock mark, the FET section will start entering the saturation region. \u003cstrong\u003eHave in mind that due to Dr. Robert’s great dynamics, different types of guitars and pickups will affect the clean range of the Gain knob.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMIDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThis is the most critical knob to tailor your sound.\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike most equalizer circuits (which get placed after or before the volume control) Vox separated the mids control from the rest of the tone stack in the UL730. In this preamp, the signal gets amplified first, followed by the Middle control before the volume pot. After this, Vox placed a special gain stage, coupled with the Bass and Treble controls. Thus, \u003cstrong\u003eyou can control the midrange without interacting with the rest of the eq, as traditional tone stacks do.\u003c\/strong\u003e By turning it counterclockwise, it will subtract a great amount of mid-range, creating a really interesting scooped sound. Turning it clockwise will bring mid frequencies and the overall gain builds up hitting harder the EL84 tubes, creating saturation. \u003cstrong\u003eJust like the real amp does,\u003c\/strong\u003e Dr. Robert’s “Middle” control has the same behavior, thanks to the FET section specially tuned to mimic the power amp saturation on the UL730.
