The legendary Schaffer sound in a pedalboard-friendly format!
The SoloDallas Schaffer Replica Storm captures the legendary tone of the original Schaffer-Vega wireless system in a compact, pedalboard-friendly pedal.
Inspired by the wireless system famously used by Angus Young and other legendary guitarists of the 1970s and 1980s, the Storm recreates the unique combination of compression, harmonic enhancement, and boost that made the original Schaffer sound so distinctive.
Its fully analog circuitry combines a limiter, expanded EQ, harmonic clipping, boost, and line buffer to deliver exceptional string separation, a punchy, percussive attack, rich harmonics, and singing sustain.
Whether used as an always-on tone enhancer or to push an amplifier into natural overdrive, the Storm adds thickness, definition, and dynamic response while helping your guitar stand out in the mix.
With its compact enclosure, top-mounted jacks, and standard 9-12 V DC operation, the Storm brings the famous "Instant Angus" sound to virtually any pedalboard.
The original Schaffer sound
Developed by Ken Schaffer in the 1970s, the Schaffer-Vega Diversity System was a pioneering wireless system used by guitarists including Angus Young, David Gilmour, and Eddie Van Halen.
Beyond providing freedom of movement on stage, its unique signal-processing circuitry added compression, harmonic richness, and a distinctive attack that many guitarists came to appreciate as an essential part of their sound.
SoloDallas recreated these characteristics by reverse-engineering the original 1974 system, making its legendary tonal qualities available without the need for vintage wireless equipment.
