![]() Butler has always made these stock with 12AX7 tubes, but owners typically experiment with tubes having different gain factors to tailor their tone.I think the TD sounds best with clean amps that have a healthy mid range, like the Hiwatt Custom 50 or Custom 100 (DR103), or similar amps like the Reeves Custom 50/100.Ī four knob version of the Tube Works 901 Real Tube pedal, which was an improved Tube Driver.2005 - 911 Tube Driver. It would seem that the tube itself would make very little difference to the sound, but it actually is an integral part of the sound, and different tubes or tube types will alter the sound in different ways. This is called a 'starved plate' design, and you won't see much tube glow, if any, if you look inside. ![]() The circuit only draws about 30mA and the tube is actually only running at 12v, a fraction of what these tubes run in a typical amplifier. It filters and colors the sound with the tube characteristics. That strong signal is fed into a vaccuum tube, which does not work to amplify the signal as it would in the pre amp stage of a typical amplifier. The hard clipping part of the distortion comes from the integrated circuit chip, or op-amp.
