About This Listing

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN from BK Butler, NOT a reissue!

I've been continually hand-building and improving my Tube Driver quality since I created it in 1983. Used by Eric Johnson - for his famous 'violin tone', David Gilmour -his 'go to' pedal since the Division Bell album, ZZ Top - Billy Gibbons, Joe Satriani, Joe Bonamassa, and many others. This current production is actually BETTER than the first units because of superior parts. Note: My latest improvements include a new quiet, humbucking toroid transformer to eliminate AC hum and noise.

Special Offer!  12AU7 (ECC82) NOS Tube UPGRADE available.  For an extra $49 you can get a very rare, USA made vintage 12AU7 tube installed that Gilmour uses in his Tube Drivers.  Just message me you want it when you order.  I'll answer you with the details immediately!

NOTE:  I see some unauthorized 'Chandler' copycat clones for sale here on Reverb with separate 'wall wart' power supplies.  Wisely avoid them as I get players requesting me to repair them quite often.  There are NO spare parts available and they do NOT sound the same as my originals because Chandler made 2 gross errors in the circuitry when they tried to copy my original.  NO pros use them! 

The latest production JJ tubes sound fantastic.  No microphonics, great harmonics and tone!I've also just added a B+ adjustment trim-pot inside so you can dial in the overall gain you want. This is EXACTLY what all the pros are currently using. Joe Satriani recently got 2 of these and is very happy.  -See the pics. Don't buy used, overpriced or abused used pedals or unauthorized 'Chandler copies' with wall warts!! This is the only place on Reverb to get a NEW ORIGINAL Tube Driver directly from BK Butler. Authentic and hand-made BK Butler Tube Driver.  I personally designed it in 1983. I autograph each one also. NOTE:  The primo 5-knob Bias upgrade is also available for $70 more: Just message me that you want to upgrade when you order. I'll answer and let you know how to upgrade.

And here's a comment from a new Tube Driver user:

"Amazing pedal, unlike any other OD on the market. There is a reason Gilmour uses this pedal, it one of a kind. Fast shipping and outstanding customer service. Don't buy this pedal used, buy it new from the man himself, B.K. Butler!"

- Cory Wallace

Best wishes for great TONE,
