Tube Works Real Tube OD?
lemme break this out here separately:
quote:
"As for the tubedriver placement- it's simple- that thing makes other pedals sound bad becuase of all the AC hum it emits. Try it sometime- it's a noisy pedal that needs to be carefully placed. It induces hum in everything. Though it's not on a seperate block of wood, my tubedriver is happy only in certain places on my pedalboard."
uh oh, i just bought a tube driver off the i-net--should have it in 10 days. is this a good sounding OD pedal, despite hum problems?
here's the advt. to which i responded:
quote:
"Tube Works brand "REAL TUBE" Overdrive Pedal for guitar. Concept and design by: B.K. Butler. It is powered by AC only and houses a real 12AX7 pre-amp tube. You can get a huge range of tones by safely using a 12au7 or 12at7 tube as well. It has a 3 band EQ, a output-level and overdrive control as well. This is a early black model from 1993 and has crome ring around the on/off switch, just like the anodized models."
anyone experimented w/ diff. pre-amp tubes other than 12AX7? i play blues. any tips for using w/out terrible hum?
thanks, bill
