THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN hand-made directly from BK Butler; NOT a reissue!
NOTE: IMPENDING TARIFF PRICE INCREASE: I can hold current pricing ONLY as long as long as my in-house electronic parts inventory lasts, so please order ASAP! πππΈπ
I've been continually hand-building and improving my Tube Driver quality since I first created it in 1983. Used by Eric Johnson - for his famous 'violin tone', David Gilmour as 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 quality 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.
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. Their platic pots are are a real problem. 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 attempted to copy my original. NO pros use them! Best to avoid.
The latest production JJ tubes I'm installing sound fantastic. I also hand select them carefully for 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,
