  • Valentine HH – Valentine HT Bridge and Neck Pickups

    Valentine HT Bridge and Neck Pickups

    The Valentine HT humbucking pickups showcase a full dynamic range and excellent touch sensitivity. The pickups produce moderate power yet have a robust low-end response while maintaining a distinctively clean, clear tone and definition at lower volume levels.

  • Valentine HH – Push Push Boost Circuit

    Push Push Boost Circuit

    The preamp boost is activated by a push-push volume knob and is factory set to 12 db. Via a trim pot inside the control cavity, the preamp can be adjusted up to 20 dB if needed for heavy rhythm parts or high-octane soloing whenever the user chooses.

Valentine HH – Transparent Buffered Output

Transparent Buffered Output

No matter where your volume control is set, the transparent buffered output preserves your signal from high-frequency loss and keeps your tone bright and strong.
