We're
proud to announce the release
of a new addition to the Barge Concepts family of blend and bypass
devices; the
DVB-2 Dual Variable Blend. Inspired
by customer requests, the
DVB-2 is a fully buffered True Bypass loop with two footswitchable
Clean Blend controls. The DVB-2 uses audio grade Burr Brown
op-amps to buffer the send and receive signals, allowing improved
signal strength over long pedal chains and cable runs, and minimizing
“tone sucking” from vintage and mass-produced effects. The
two Clean Blend controls mix the clean/direct signal with the output of
the effects loop, while the Blend A/B switch selects between two Clean
Blend settings.The watchword of the VFB series
is unparalleled versatility. Whether you simply need a signal
buffer or true bypass looper, or want to add a blend control to your
favorite stompbox, the DVB-2 is a tool that has a place in every
musician’s rig. With its fully buffered signal path, complete
isolation of inputs and outputs, and an intuitive control set, the
DVB-2 is in a class by itself in the occasionally confusing world of
A/B boxes, buffers, and bypass devices.Application
Suggestions:As a True Bypass loop:
Use it to turn on/off multiple pedals at once, keep noisy or
tone-sucking pedals out of your signal path, add true bypass switching
to any or all of your pedals without complicated or overpriced
modifications.As a Blend control:
Each Clean Blend control covers the full range from 100% "dry" to 100%
"wet". Mix your clean tone with that oscillating delay or
your heavy fuzz and distortion sounds. Run a chorus or flanger in the
loop of the DVB-2 to add some swirl to your dirt sounds and modulate
your delays. It’s perfect for Bass and Baritone players that
want to use conventional guitar effects, but need to dial in some of
their clean instrument signal for improved low end response.
Also a perfect addition to digital delays and multi-fx units that may
have a blend/mix function, but are mixing in a digital/processed
version of your clean tone - not your actual analog direct
signal.
Use the Blend A/B switch to select between your two blend settings on
the fly - have two different blend settings for chorus and verse
passages, or for different songs in your set; or quickly select between
your direct passive true bypass signal, buffered clean signal, and 100%
Wet,
etc - all without having to turn a knob or take your hands
off the strings.As a Signal Buffer: The DVB-2
uses very low noise, audio grade Burr-Brown internal buffers to insure
transparent sound across the entire audible spectrum. With
all signals buffered, you have a lower impedance signal driving the
pedals both in the loop and after your DVB-2, as well as high impedance
inputs to insure that a clear signal passes to the output. All internal
signals are actively blended so that there is absolutely no unexpected
interaction between your instrument and your effects. The DVB-2 shares the same
quality parts and construction techniques as other Barge Concepts units
(true bypass, pop suppression, etc.). Like the rest of our
products, the DVB-2 has been engineered to operate with an input
voltage anywhere between 9 and 18 volts, and is equipped with an
industry standard DC power jack.
