The Red Witch Violetta may look small and delicate but underneath that feminine shiny exterior lies a power-packed mama that's also tough and full of stamina. The Violetta's sound (gorgeous tape delay emulation) alone should be enough to convince you that she's worth a second glance but there are other enticing and important features on offer as well: 1. top mounted jacks, 2. delay repeat expression pedal control, 3. rechargeable lithium ion battery, 4. small footprint.
The Violetta is the first entry in the Original Chrome Series from Red Witch. If she's any indication of things to come then I'm sure looking forward to future releases because this 1000ms modulated delay is something special.
At around 6:10 I paired up our Kiwi princess with a handsome green brute from Brazil called the Deep Trip "Kryptone", a killer Vox Tonebender MKI tip-o'-the-hat pedal long overdue for a video demo itself (coming shortly).
The guitar I used for this one is my Smitty "Hog", a co-design by myself and Eric Smid at Smitty Custom Guitars in the Netherlands. Basically, The Hog is an all mahogany Tele with an all-over oil finish. It features a custom wound set Mick Brierley's "Vintage Modern" pickups for the perfect mixture of slice and moderate power.
The amp used for this video is a Laney VH-100R, my current amp of choice for all things clean.
Many thanks to Michael Zaccaria at Dominant Music and Ben Fulton at Red Witch Analog Guitar Effects.
