Product information

This is a limited run, released in small batches, and it lasts only as long as AMT's BBD supply does.

Some sounds you can't manufacture twice. The ACV-NOS is built around a hand-selected New Old Stock Matsushita (Panasonic) BBD chip - a piece of analog history with a voice all its own. When the chips run out, they're gone. So AMT is releasing these in small batches throughout 2026, until the last NOS BBD finds a home.

The ACV-NOS takes everything we love about their ACV-1 Chorus/Vibrato & Time Warp Modulator and builds around that vintage NOS BBD, modified to bring out exactly what makes it special.

Put it next to a reissue XVive BBD and you'll hear the difference - subtle, but it's there in the headroom, the harmonics, the way it handles distortion and noise across the frequency range. In our own listening tests, the NOS chip showed less smearing and a smoother presence, with a high end that almost shimmers.

To do that NOS BBD justice, AMT went further. Longer delay times reaching into the aliased ring-mod zone. Wider modulation range. Re-voiced filters for clearer mids and fuller low end. And each unit gets finished in gloss mauve powder coat with gold sparkle, topped with solid aluminum GØRVA knobs - because a pedal this special should feel and look the part under your foot.

Every ACV-NOS carries its own subtle character - smoother highs, richer lows, and that classic analog depth we keep coming back to.
