#BK BUTLER TUBE DRIVER AMP DRIVER#

Pete Cornish will give you chapter and verse why they are shite and what they do in terms of tone suck when in a chain but switched off. Jester does basically the same, but about 4 times better. If you want Sloe Gin in a box, get a Jester.

If anyone wants mine, email me this is one of the staple Gilmour pedals, and it's still a very good pedal, yet I think they're crap compared to the Kingsley Jester, which is in another league. NEW TUBE DRIVER -20 OFF CV Relief Sale-279 The Original By BK BUTLER. Congrats on the BK Butler Kev, it's one I'll never sell! I feel that it's easier to get the 'violin' tone with that particular tube. The 12AU7 also tames a little of the spikey-ness of the JJ 12AX7. There is so much gain in these that you actually get a much more musical and usable range with the lower gain tube.

Get a feel for the pedal with that tube but IMO I heard a DRAMATIC improvement in mine with a NOS JAN 12AU7. The tube inside appears to be a JJ ECC83 - is this a 12AX7? Just be careful with the Master Volume control, because these things have the ability to REALLY hit the front end of your amp hard! In fact, they can drive a speaker as about a 1-watt tube practice amp with GREAT TONE.It arrived today!! I am looking at it now in my office - can't wait to get home and crank it up. This one has it's original (and wonderful) General Electric 12AX7's and they still test as better than new in my Hickock TV7 tester. How does the 3 knob version compare to the 4. There has never been a finer, more powerful actual tube overdrive pedal made. I've been doing some netsurfing for some replacement guitar parts and found some kits for electric guitars, I've never even thought of building a guitar from a kit of parts until now and I'm. I know EJ and Gilmour use the 4 knob version and it's the one released this year. Oh, and there's the VERY powerful bass, middle, and treble controls as well as a very fender-like 'bright' switch. for a total of FOUR tube gain stages in the Tube Driver it's only one! Plus, these operate at twice the voltage of the original Tube Drivers. I typically have it set in-between 5 and 7 and. The core of the pedal is a hand-selected 12AX7 tube - which gives you a lovely sort of fuzz-drive sound than can sound amazingly smooth and textured in the hands of masters like David Gilmour - who still features 2 of these within his rig. These are often refereed to as the predecessor to the 'Tube Driver', but they are really VERY different pedals. Price paid: 424 Purchased from: BK Butler Sound 10 I think the key to this pedal and to getting the Vintage Tube Driver sound is the bass knob. Butler Tube Driver famously used by David Gilmour, Eric Johnson, Billy Gibbons and Joe Satriani to name a few. This model is also the rarest, as it was only produces for a few months in 1981 before loosing the 'Boogee' moniker. The Power Amp is called the MosValve Power. The Pre Amp is similar to the Chandler/BK Butler Tube Driver (how different I cant say) that can be found in pedal form or as a rack preamp.

This one is from 1981, I personally feel this is the BEST model because it's still labeled 'Boogee', and it's in the VERY Mesa-Boogie looking black-n-White color scheme. I guess the other thing I should mention to people reading this is that this amp is basically two pieces of BK Butler Rack Gear in one. These things are legendary! There is lotsa chatter about these among serious players, but most folks have never even SEEN one in real life.īK Butler made only a few of these by hand from 1980-1981, then Randall Smith (Mesa-Boogie) asked him to use another name and in 1982-84 he made a few more labeled 'Audio Matrix'. I recently sold my stupidly rare Mini Boogee Pedal, but I made a little demo video before shipping her out. Hi gang! So this will be, for the most part a video blog.
