10/22/2019 Bk Butler Tube Driver Ebay
The Tube Driver was repackaged as the Tube Works Real Tube for a while and later picked up briefly by Genz-Benz. You can still pick them up on the 'Bay for less than $200. This pedal has a couple of solid stage amplifiers cascading into a tube configured as a cathode follower and running its plates at around 9V. This is all far less than ideal. FWIW, EJ uses it as an EQ and boost to goose one of his Marshalls rather than using much of its overdrive. There are a lot of folks out there making Fuzz Face clones, so you have lots of options.
David Main of DAM pedals in the UK makes a clone of the original Tube Driver, I'd guess it comes closer than any of the replacements/reissues from TubeWorks- but if you're in the U.S. The currency exchange will make his clone cost you almost as much as an original. For Fuzzfaces, Analogman and ProAnalog consistently get great reviews for being great FF clones, MJM is also good but his pedals seem to have a slightly different personality(albeit a good one) from the originals, and the Fulltone clone is popular, but that doesn't mean it's the best. The BK Butler Tube Drive Circuit is based on a OP-Amp Gainstage driven into two triode-stages of 12AX7 tube, using low plate voltage (about 16Volts) there are lot of similar products, such as chandler tube driver, Dean Markley Overlord (Classic Tube Overdrive) and many others. Speaking of the Guitar Player.there was a circuit for Tube-Distortion by Ron Black.its almost the same as the BK Butler TD there are some other products using higher plate voltage.real tube overdrive needs minimum 3 gain stages.one 12AX7 has just 2 gain stages. Another cool tube-pedal is: Badcat 2Tone or BadCat Xtreme tone (if you have some probs with the interactive EQ, i have some solutions) greetz Paco.
