Seems that I have dug myself into a bit of a financial hole in a recent pedal-buying binge. My bank account dictates that I sell everything that isn't absolutely nailed down to try to dig my way out.
Up for grabs is a technically unbranded Bug Drive Tube Overdrive pedal. Though not technically a Broughton pedal, it was designed in part by Josh Broughton of Broughton Audio. I purchased the Bug Drive in the 2019 "Pedals for a Cure" auction to benefit PCDH19 Epilepsy. If you are unfamiliar with the Bug Drive, it is a real tube overdrive pedal. It is designed for bass guitar, but I imagine it would work equally well on electric guitar, though I have no way to test that theory. The EQ curve is quite flexible. It uses a 12AU7 tube to generate real tube saturation. And the tone knob is not a typical passive high roll off, but is a tilt-eq, offering greater flexibility in tone. There's no comparison between an actual tube being driven and all of the many "tube sim" pedals out there for adding sparkly, pristine drive to your tone.
It is in mint condition and never left my house. I used it for maybe a total of an hour as I auditioned different tubes with it. I will include the original box (which is just a plain cardboard box with nothing on it, so that's not really a selling point, lol). I will include the original tube it came with, a Jan-Sylvania. I will also include a brand new (with the exception of about 15min) JJ tube I bought for it, and a 1960's RCA tube I acquired through the talkbass forum, which is my favorite thus far. Nice and warm with definition.
The pedal will ship via USPS Priority Mail within two business days of receipt of payment. I will not ship internationally.
As I always say, I am not a store, just a bass player who takes his positive feedback seriously. Feel free to check my feedback and purchase with confidence. Thanks for looking.
