Description

Arion MTE-1 Tubulator overdrive pedal, designed in Japan and made in Sri Lanka. This is the classic TS9-style circuit built around the JRC4558D chip, giving that warm, tube-like overdrive Arion pedals are known for.

Level, Tone, and Dist controls let you dial in anything from a light boost to a thick, saturated overdrive.

Condition / what's missing:

• Battery compartment cover is missing (battery still installs and holds fine, just no door)
• One control knob is missing (shaft is intact, just no knob cap - see photos)
• Tested and working - LED check light, footswitch, and all three controls function properly
• Runs on a 9V battery (6F22/006P) or a 9V DC adapter, center-negative (not included)
• Cosmetic wear consistent with age: scuffs and scratches on the casing

Priced to reflect the missing parts. A great player-grade pedal for anyone who wants that vintage Arion tone and doesn't mind a couple of cosmetic/parts issues.

Reverb calculates shipping at 15oz.
