Cranetortoise Vacuum TUBE BOOSTER with A/B switching VT-SWB

ギター/ベース用のアンプ、プリアンプなどで玄人プレイヤーから高く評価されている埼玉県の老舗メーカーALBITが、2000年代にCranetortoiseブランドで販売していた真空管内蔵ブースターになります。

フルレンジで信号を強力にブーストする個性的なブースターで、あまり歪みませんが、音圧、解像度、音の張り、密度などのパワーがぐっと増します。使用するアンプが良いものだった場合には、そのアンプの特性をさらに生かすものとなります。本物の真空管のナチュラルなキャラクターが生きており、一般的なオーバードライブとは一線を画するそのサウンドは衝撃的とも言えるものです。

こちらの真空管ブースターのシリーズは当時、水色のもの、ピンク色のもの、そしてこの紺色のものと3種類が販売されていましたが、今回のこの紺色のモデル[VT-SWB]はその中でもライブでの使い勝手がもっとも良かった印象があります。GREENとREDチャンネルを切り替えられる上にブーストスイッチが付いており、合計3段階のブースト切り替えが可能。なおかつその歪み方やブーストの出力も比較的使いやすい範囲に収まっています。

(参考までに:  水色のモデル=パワーとピュアなブーストに特化、ピンク色のモデル=セレクター機能とあたたかな音に特化、紺色のモデル=ライブでのチャンネル切り替えに特化、という大雑把な印象です)

また出力端子も豊富で、Ch AとCh Bの出力を分けることが出来ます。これは2台のアンプを切り替えて使う用途ではないかと思われます。当方は通常の使い方をする際には"BOTH"の端子からアンプに接続しておりました。

強力な個性を持ったインパクトの強い製品ですが、持ち運びに不便な大きな筐体、真空管にしっかりと電圧をかける設計、専用アダプターが必要、わかりやすく歪むのではなくナチュラルにブーストする渋いコンセプトなど、当時のマーケットでは理解されにくい製品だったかと思います。

使い方さえ理解すれば、現在ALBITから販売されている各種プリアンプ同様に、現場で頼もしい戦力になってくれるアイテムだと思います。

現在では入手困難なユニークな逸品です。
こだわりのあるギタリストの方にぜひ手に取っていただきたいと思います。

Proxy bidding and purchasing services are becoming increasingly convenient. However, overseas shopping carries certain risks and issues. To reduce these risks and enhance shopping safety, please be sure to read the following information:

1. International Shipping

   Air Freight: If the item status is not confirmed within two days after the arrival notice, any customer complaints cannot be addressed with the seller.

2. After Receiving the Product

Please confirm and inspect the product as soon as possible to ensure that the product specifications, quantity, accessories, and description are correct

If, unfortunately, there are any issues, you can refer to the following examples on how to report related product problems:
1. Example of missing product information
2. Example of product not matching provided information
3. Example of damaged product information

Important Notes: 1. If the seller is unwilling to ship overseas or is unaware that the product will be shipped overseas, the international shipping cost for returns or exchanges will need to be borne by the member. You may refer to the EMS e-Express fee inquiry from the post office. If it involves alcoholic beverages or items that affect flight safety, the post office cannot be used for shipment, and only DHL can be used to ship back to Japan.
2. During the product complaint handling period, please retain the complete outer packaging of the product (including the shipping label information), and refrain from attempting any repairs or altering the original condition. Any modifications may result in the inability to process the case.

3. After Inspecting the Product

After receiving and inspecting the item, if you have any questions, it is recommended to contact Letao within 2 hours. Here are some reminders:

1. Please do not unpack, use or repair the received item yourself, and be sure to keep the original packaging to facilitate subsequent handling of related matters, so as to avoid changes to the item that may cause the seller to be unwilling to process.

2. You can call customer service, and the customer service will leave a message for you as below. Please provide the following information:
"Hello, we will first help you establish a complaint case for Product ID: _______ .But we need you to 2-3 clear photos of the product issue, including photos of the product problem, product packaging, shipping details slip, and outer box.

2. Please keep the complete product packaging (including the shipping label information), and refrain from repairing or altering the original condition on your own, as any changes may result in the case being unable to be processed.
3. Please provide the relevant information within 48 hours to avoid missing the golden hour for reflection and causing situations that cannot be handled.
4. Due to 99% of Japanese sellers being unwilling or unaware of shipping goods overseas, if a seller is willing to handle the issue, the goods must be sent back to Japan, and the international shipping costs incurred must be borne by the member. Letao will use postal EMS international express to send the goods back to Japan.
5. As the goods are purchased from overseas, it may take approximately one to two weeks to complete the relevant processing procedures when issues arise with the goods. Please be reminded that you can inquire about the approximate cost through the EMS service at the post office.

4. FAQ

1. Issue of Authenticity: If antique or branded goods are found to be counterfeit upon receipt, clear photos showing the differences between the genuine product and the imitation must be provided as evidence.
