I've been waiting to hear these little monsters, I'm hoping that the tone is worth the price. I can't anyone who carries these yet but I'm very very curious.

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

ummm... we carry them. Thus the video. They are on our website.

Hey Andy! Thanks for the cool demo! Is it true that pedals w/ tubes in them are sort of a gimmick because the tubes can't operate at their optimum voltage, and many other pedals already use IC's that do a good job of simulating tube clipping and harmonics? Does a TubeScreamer type pedal sound just as good to your ears?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

Like someone mentioned already, the tubes are running at a higher voltage unlike other "starved" tube units. The tube tone is less compressed and without the mid hump of a TS. Whether that's better is up to you and your rig :)

I have a couple of questions Andy (some already asked but not replyed):

-Can this pedal set up boost cleans too (like a clean channel)?

-About the tube, likely to be replaced someday I suppose. It's easy to find and remove/put a replacement there?

I gig a lot so the last question is essential to me, thank you guys! :-)

This pedal is like a tube amp in a box.

[DemonInJerseyCity]

@ProGuitarShopDemos There are none on your website.

[VoidiFOpened1]

extra bite, cute lol

[Tuttermuts]

heh anyon notice the tube logo is verry similar to that of youtube?

[DJsqueely]

@TheGamingGuitarist no its not. i tried this one, the blackheart tube pedals, the tone bone one, and some generic one. all through a solid state amp. for every sound i wanted, a reguler overdrive pedal sounded better and richer. and nothing even came CLOSE to a real tube amp. :( im just going to have to save. . .

Can’t figure out if this pedal (Maxon TB0-9), the "Effectrode Tube Drive”, the “Effectrode Fire Bottle” or possibly something else would be best bet for ‘real-tube’ driven pedal used 2 boost a tube amp. Maybe even the Effectrode Tube-Vibe or Delta-Trem used 4 boost? All these pedals sound great on vid. - but can’t find any of them in stores to test out. I’m mainly after tone & sustain behaving like drive is hi but it’s really not. EL84.Brit.VOX.1974x.AngusYoung­.low drive.hard hitting low-mids...

Hi, i just wanted to know that this tube can broke? do you need to change the tube in it? (later...)

[sunburnedgoat]

I have this pedal, and it's one of the best boosts/ODs I've played so far. Running it into a Matamp, so I wanted to make sure I was only boosting my amp's beautiful tone, not squashing it or destroying it in any way. This thing does just that.

This pedal runs at 30 volts, off of its own power adapter. So you really are getting true pre-amp tube tone.

[fr06floyd]

is it played on a clean amp or on a clean amp? (before 3.18)

[xitongzou]

@theShowStopper321 Maxons are expensive because their pedals compete with boutique ones in terms of quality.

No TOD-9 test ? It would have been useful to be able to compare TBO-9 and TOD-9.
