I'm not sure what to do with this fella, but I have a feeling it will stay in the shop as a guitar demo unit (I do like the cleans mixed with the spring reverb) until someone needs a beat-up rawk machine. What works for one company does not work for. Compatible with all electric guitars and amplifiers. Controls: Tube Drive, HI & LO EQs and Output Level.

It seems that the tolex-covered (rather than felt-covered) versions of these are a little rarer and they sure look a lot better. Butler worked with Todd Brooks, group design director for global brands, to develop a system that would. Heart of the Tube Driver is a real hand-selected 12AX7 tube by BK Butler himself. The upper (non-padded) jack also does not hold plugs all that well compared to the lower. The information provided here is not sufficient for interface builds for a complete test mix, please click the sidebar link to access the Interface Map. The jacks are all those panel-style ones with the irritating plastic threads, too, so you have to be careful about not over-tightening them. Component test codes cannot be used to order tests. It's now ready to roll, though it does show plenty of wear-and-tear to the tolex covering and metal hardware. The Real Tube and Blue Tube pedals are frequently passed over. They have a 3-band EQ (bass, mid, treble knobs) rather than the two found on most Tube Driver pedals (apart from the entry-level Tube Works model, which just had one Tone knob). My own work on it included fixing things that'd been fudged before: it needed a new 3-prong cord installed as someone had clipped the ground prong, all the pots needed spraying-out and the jacks needed tightening, the two preamp tubes needed replacing (I just stuck some spare Chinese 12AX7 ones in there but would put lower-gain tubes in if I were planning to get a more bluesy tone), it needed a serious amount of cleaning-up, the fiber-board holder for the speaker connector tabs needed to be fixed back onto the speaker's frame, and the speaker cable needed replacing as it'd been hacked-up. They're known mostly for being the favourite Tube Driver flavour of Billy Gibbons and B.K.
