In other words, the output of the pedal is greater than the input. The tube is not just clipping your signal as a diode would, but actually amplifying the signal. Just like most 12AX7 stages are wired in amplifiers, but at a low voltage. The tube is wired as a dual triode, as it should be. However it is NOT working as a diode clipper or filter. Maxon TBO9 True Tube Booster/Overdrive ($259)įor the price and my budget, I should really consider TK999OD, but despite it says it´s high-voltage, it uses DC power, maybe louis_cypher could explain me that ? Thanks! Tubedepot The Button Tube Overdrive ($249) Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic/Blue ($219/$229)

SoulSonicFX Evolution Tube Overdrive ($219) I´ve found most of them in a HighGain territory, and I really want the most a booster/overdrive. But this time I won´t rush on it, I´ll research and research until I´m sure of what I´m buying. I´ve made a list of the High Voltage drives I´ve found, please let me know if I´ve missed something! Listing is in order of price that I´ve found around the web, the ones I´m considering are bold. I´m looking for a boost for drive it to that spot, as well as a overdrive for a different kinda drive voicing, maybe screamer type. But, I have NO IDEA how this would combine with the Ultra Gain channel of the DSL.would it smooth it out as much as a TS9 would?īB Preamp - Sounds thick.never played this pedal but looks like it would have enough gain to really sound great on it's own, but would it color my original tone too much?īB Preamp - Sounds thick.The ProJr. Perfect for the TS9 flavor without losing bass, and a perfect middle ground between the TS9 and OCD. Plimsoul - This is another favorite pedal. Love the sound of this pedal on a clean channel by itself, but I don't like how it combines with high gain channels on amps.adds to the edge rather than smoothing it out. I don't like the loss of bass, and it does tend to be almost too soft around the edges for some of the chimey Christian music I play. TS9 - I love the sound of this pedal, and I like how it smooths out high gain channels.

Versatile is always better, but I plan on using an overdrive pedal to give me a little more gain on the 'Classic Gain' channel and to smooth out the Ultra Gain channel. I'm trying to accomplish sort of a Bonamassa blues tone, but I also play metal and contemporary Christian music. I've owned all but the BB that I mention above, but it's been awhile and I've never played any of them with a Marshall. I've got a DSL100H with a 1936 2x12 cab and would like some suggestions on which overdrive pedal to get.
