Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around the Microtubes Vintage drive section, the Vintage Deluxe V3 lets you combine clean bass with adjustable saturation, then shape the result with a four-band active EQ. The Grunt switch selects one of three pre-clipping bass boosts, while Attack manages how much treble enters saturation. Use the parallel output when a separate processing path is needed, or send the balanced direct output to a PA or studio console.
