901 Real Tube (Tube Works) - 5 knobs, in good, working condition.

Designed in 1986, but first made in 1987 under Butler's new Tube Works brand. Since Chandler Industries owned the trademark name Tube Driver, Butler named this version the Real Tube. Same op amp and 12AX7 Tube Driver circuit, but with a mid range knob added. Butler considered this version a superior pedal in some ways to his original 4 knob Tube Driver, the added mid range knob makes the tone much more versatile. These can sound slightly harsher and more fuzzy than the later 911 Tube Driver at high gain, depending on the tube used, but at medium to low overdrive settings they can sound identical to the 911.

Power: 120VAC, but can be modified to 12VAC, ask me if you needed that, it's free.

Tube: Yugoslavia 12AX7A

Date: Aug 4 1992
