A fairly simple but hard to get right idea. Put what is in effect a tube/valve into a pedal. In this case a JJ 12AY7 tube which is a lower output 12AX7.
My experience with tube pre's has been all bad.Tone was non existent as was any smooth transition to how much gain you can choose to use. One big problem is to get it right the pedal can end up costing as much as a small amp.
CONCLUSION
One of the very best I have heard.
But having tried a few and finding a really good FET OD works more effectively in real application I for one will pass. I will say that in an all transistor Bass guitar rig a good tube OD set low can create miracles.

ReplyDeleteKiller tones, dynamics and - unlike a lot of these pedals - it has mojo and a pedalboard friendly form factor!
