Did You know . . .
Tubes make great effects pedals! Why? Guitar amps built on tubes have dominated the music industry for well over fifty years because they deliver the tone guitarists desire & love. Nearly every solid-state guitar amplifier manufactured is marketed with a claim to reproduce tube sound. And at the heart of many of the finest studio compressors, microphone preamps, tape echo units & reverbs there's an analog signal path that uses 'fire bottles'.
