OVERDRIVE- EFFECTRODE TUBE DRIVE the real deal...luxury buyers only

EFFECTRODE TUBE DRIVE


       

$430.00 USD



A very simple idea...a fairly simple design.
Just a volume, tone and drive.
They make a whole preamp model too.

I do not know who would appeal to???
It is expensive it does a very pleasant blues/fusion sound.
To get it to have a some serious gain it would need a fourth tube.
Putting overdrive pedals in front of it would defeat it's purpose.
If you are entranced with it's sound keep in mind it needs an amp ...so why would you not just buy a good tube amp.
A really good transistor OD is a much better option. Serious tube sound comes from the amplifier of a tube amp ..not the preamp.
A simple single tube pre as a sweetener could be nice but not at this price.
If it were under $200.00 USD maybe.
