Valco FX Five-O Overdrive, Tremolo, Reverb

The Five-O is a 3-in-1 pedal that started with the idea of creating the ultimate surf rig but soon developed into an extremely versatile fly rig or pedalboard expander for any genre.
Each effect is independent, true bypass and contains cool tricks up their sleeve. Starting with Drive, the brown sounds of the Valco Bloodbuzz have been brought over with more amp-like overdrive and a flexible tone control that is flat at noon and can either boost bass while cutting highs or cut bass and boost highs for maximum sculpting.
The analog Tremolo circuit is aimed at classic amp-style optical tremolo but with the addition of 4 switchable Waveforms which provide subtle movement of sine waves all the way to short, chopped blips in the rectangle shape.
The Reverb section combines the classic resonance of a spring with the extended decay of a studio plate. Not only does it have a Blend but a Tone control for the wet signal and Size knob to access splashing surf or natural studio spaces. Last but not least, the Pre knob changes the order of the reverb effect to transport it from last in the chain to first, allowing the saturated reverb and chopped reverb tails that you’d hear from an outboard reverb into the front of an amp or a smooth reverberation without tremolo in the decay.
Like the other Valco pedals, the Five-O is handmade in Canada and features a hefty metal enclosure filled with high quality components and top-mount jacks to save space. Check out the expanding Valco pedal lineup at ValcoFX.com

Andy has been on top of the game for so many years and still no one comes even close today. Watched every single demo of this pedal and Andy absolutely nailed it even though I wouldn’t have thought was bread for his teeth. Amazing tones Andy, spectacular job ! All hail the master !

[bruno_schumann]

I was thinking about getting the Strymon Flint but after this video I think I'll go for the Five-0... Thanks, Andy👍

[fiftywattplexi]

You're always a treat to watch play 🖤

[ZachariahConnor]

Jazzmaster is sounding great with the new pickups!!

[Mr.Steve-O]

Andy, great to see you shredding on that American Ultra, the Mocha Burst is off the charts. This pedal is on my Xmas list ( to myself ). Keep up the great work !

[robertbikers]

Valco is just killing it with their pedal line. Out of my price range atm though...

[maggieo]

I guess it's time to sell my Fender Tre-Verb and Gunslinger. This is just too damn good.

[edadpops]

That Reverend would look so cool with a matching headstock me thinks

[mr.d.]

Never heard of this pedal before... interesting...

[dangitdan]

Could be a “desert island pedal” contender.

[edadpops]

Wow Rev heat meets Zeppelin. That was cool

[paultiplea]

The finish on that Les Paul is so stunning. Care to share what it is?

[theholylynch]

cool demo, does the song at the start has a name?

[matthewtop]

What song was that in the intro? Kinda reminded me of something Man or Astroman would do
