Electron Tube Pickup Booster

Put some fire into your tone! The "Fire Bottle" is a an extremely compact, tough little boost pedal with a warm and musical personality. This pedal is specially designed to work with magnetic guitar pickups and is based on a new NOS (new old stock) subminature 6112 vacuum tube. The 6112 operates as a vintage Fender tube amp input stage at true tube amplifier plate voltages for stacks of head-room and a low noise floor ensuring fantastic dynamic range. Like my other subminiature tube pedals, the Fire Bottle is true bypass for uncolored feed-through.

The 6112 is manufactured to meet the stringent MIL-E-1 specification for reliability and designed for long service life under conditions of severe shock, vibration (20,000G!), high temperature and high altitude. The subminiature tubes represent the pinnacle of tube technology and offer more consistent musical performance than the early NOS germanium transistors used in Rangemaster-type booster pedals making the Fire Bottle a hi-fidelity boost pedal perfect for studio and touring in even the harshest conditions.
