Analog Man Vintage guitar effects

The Tubester is built like a tank with 16 guage steel and the best materials. Each is individually hand wired in the U.S. with point to point wiring and the best quality components from Carlingswitch, Switchcraft, Motorola, JAN, etc. If you want the best tube pedal at a reasonable price, this is the one!

I hear Jimmy Page ordered one in the summer of 2000... and Smokin' Joe Kubek thanked Don for the best overdrive tone on his last CD. See the August 2000 Guitar Player Gizmo Alert for a quick review.

There are five onboard controls :

Gain : Adjusts amount of distortion
Level : Overall output level
Voltage : Adjusts voltage to tube itself!
Tone : One simple control
Output B : Adjusts the output level of the "B" output

FEATURES

Two outputs : seperate level control for output B.
High voltage power supply
Bright LED switching indicator
True bypass now standard as of November 2001!
Polystyrene capacitors for great tone
Metal-film resistors for low signal loss
long 8' power cord, AC powered for true high voltage tubes.
Real 12AU7 (5814A) preamp tube starting summer Y2K for nicer distortion
You can try a 12AT7 tube but a bit noisier, or 5751 for more gain.
New in 2001: Less AC 60 Hz hum!!! They found a wiring mod to reduce it.
One year factory warrantee
5 1/2" wide x 7" long x 3 1/2" tall.
4 pounds of rugged steel.

Three models :

DS-1 : Original tube distortion pedal : NORMALLY IN STOCK!
CS-1 : Clean overdrive preamp pedal : special order only
Bass : New super fat bass pedal : special order only

Price :

$259 plus shipping for each model.

Options :

Sometimes I will have a Silver DS-1 in stock, the Lajoie Pure Silver Wire is an additional $50. Silver wire has ultra low capacitance and super high conductance for the ultimate in sound, no high end is lost. There are no other options available at this time.
