How nice it is to hear something from Division Bell. His tone on that whole album was ethereal.

Demos like these should become more of a standard for gear reviews. You are doing amazing work, Bjorn.

That closing solo was epic

I have the PastFX TD-Y, Revolution, Patriarch, Electric Mattress and Power-boost. All are fantastic clones but the TD-Y is truely stunning... PastFX are my favourite boutique pedal makers by far.

Excellent video, just ordered!

Great tone! Sounds really good, Bjørn!

Great review and recommendation as always!!!😎👍

Great info, I just ordered the Past Fx.

Love it! Thanks for the great work.

I absolutely love the neck on that black strat with the binding.

Amazing playing, Bjorn.

Awesome sounds!!! 😊👍

Great tones. You are the Man

Chills 🥶✨ Great tone, so tasty 💘 Great review (as usual), thank you Bjorn 😎👍🏻

The guitar looks soooo great, the binding on the neck! Yes!

Damn that is spot on. Nice playing.

Bjorn, your guides are useful not only for stomp box pedals and effects, but also for David way of playing guitar! Thank you for that!

Amazing tones and great video! I feel a purchase coming on :)

Wonderful demo as always Bjorn! 👍 (I took your advice and now have two TD-y's on my board 😉 ) Thanks also for the fantastic BT 👍

Nice playing, tone and review. It would be interesting to see you reviewing their power booster!

Beautiful! I subscribed for the Gilmour tips, but keep coming back for Bjørn! The ebb and flow of your dynamic choices are always exceptional and your vibrato arm technique is borderline lascivious. It’s almost like your teasing our ears us by restraining the urge to rush to a crescendo, before resolving the track in the most satisfying way. Like an audible innuendo 🫠

I have the TC Electronic Tube Pilot and enjoy it. Great video! ✌️😌🎸

You opened with Coming Back to Life - my favorite! I'd subscribe on that alone, but already am! Great content as always Bjorn!

Without the doubt thats the best one. I tried many of the clones and never been satisfy but this one will stay on my pedalboard for sure...whatever i try with this pedal it always sounds good.....every time i play i can not get enough of the sound it produce.... Beautiful playing as usual bjorn i hope one day i will reach that level 🎸🎸🎸

outstanding outro jam

Stunning playing in that outro jam Bjorn 👏 Inspired. I've watched you for years, thankyou for sharing your passion, showing us what great great is out there, how it sounds in context. I'm always impressed how you get such great tone from one pedal. I'm certain Gilmour himself would be impressed with this tone, and playing. Oh, great backing track too, if you're able to share...🙏

got the Bk Butler TD...Telefunken ecc81..no harsh top end, ,best tube for this pedal !!! great channel !

You should do a shootout between this pedal and the BD-2

Great jam

of course! the td-y. i love it, it is my favorite overdrive. i love it so much that im thinking about buying a second one to dedicate as a boost, so i dont have to constantly change settings. i really dont know much about the clipping stages, but i use v-2 alot. something about it is slightly more dynamic to my ears. i dont use middle. i barely use v-1 anymore.

I would love to see a tab for that lead + chords you play to absolutely brilliant 👏

Big PastFX fan here and I'm not a gilmour enthusiast by any stretch but just find this to be a really great "front end" overdrive. It provides lovely attack and sustain and glowing tube saturation when hit hard. But in my experience it has a less than preferable result in fuzz pedals that are sounding before it. I do not like this pedal as an amp in a box style approach but as a preamp or early stage it's absolute magic

Brilliant Bjorn. Like me, perhaps many here put you on the short list of *One* for which we always, always use our best headphones for your posts. Curious to know if you've peered inside the TD-Y for a comparison with the deceptively-simple Tube Driver circuit. Analog circuit design, thankfully a skill very much again valued, shines in the Tube Driver. Must also add here that my tone chasing--always a blast--will forever come up short. 99% of the heavy lifting there comes from the player--having the gear just right adds the last itty-bitty 'something'. Spectacular as always Sir; carry on! P. S. Helix folks, give the 'Valve Drive' and 'Tube Driver' models a go for a taste of this iconic tone. Thanks again B!

Pastfx make great stuff!

I remember the email I sent to them, requesting another tone stack or to add a pot por mid freqs. Here it is!

BK Butler built me one in the early 2000’s. It’s great.

Wish the Butler was still in my possession 🤣 Remember driving crosstown L.A. to get one when they came out.🙄😉 My search for the best OD/Distortion pedals ended when discovering a guitar with natural sustain... When that part of the equation was met, everything else fell into place for me.😎 REALLY like Airbags new release and video...The videographer is outstanding and does you proud Bjorn 👍👍 😎✌👍❤🖖

I have a feeling I'm going to revisit this video frequently just to listen to your 'End Jam'. Any chance you can post that backing track? So good. Cheers!

Hi Bjorn. Very interested in the Pastfx TDY that you introduce. Beautiful playing and great tones. Which other pedals were you using on your board alongside the Pastfx TDY and in what order? Thanx

Incredible playing and tone Bjorn! I could listen to you all day 🤘🏻 What backing track were you playing to?

Excellente thank congratulations

In 1989, I traded a JB Player strat-copy for a Tube Driver. I had a Yamaha amp with awful distortion & the Tube Driver made-it sound the way I wanted.

It’s interesting, I’ve several TD and 2 BK/Chandler like Gilmour used on Division Bell and I’ve noticed that the TD-y was closest to the BK/Chandler much than the BK911. And you prefer the BK911 version, so it’s a little bit confusing for me 😅 Past FX makes really great stuff for reasonable price, that’s a chance! As always, really great review, always a pleasure seeing your content!

Great as always Bjorn. I have built 2 x TDX clones and they are amazing pedals. However, I recently got a Fender MTG tube distortion for a steal and OMG tube driver heaven

nice!

it is definitely the best clone. In fact, it could be even better by now. Certainly much more versatile, and usable in bedroom setup.

Wonderful demo Bjorn 🤩 Would you be willing to make the final backing track available for download? Thank you so much in advance!

My first OD was a Tube Driver. Since then I've tried many ODs, but I've always returned to a Tube Driver of some sort. Including a rack mount.

Hi bjorn, what song is it in the intro? It appears in every video and its that great that give me goosenboobs.

I always want to ask you if there is any chance you could release some of your backing tracks you made for your videos...they are simply amazing...thanks a lot for all 👍👍👍

👏👏👏👏👏

Fantastic tone! Is it possible to have a link to the backing track of the jam? Thank you for your work

Is it normal to have a significant volume boost when switching from standard 4 knob to engaging the button for 5 knob version? I enjoy the standard version so much I’ve yet to really explore the mids engaged because of the volume boost and added noise. I’ve enjoyed pushing it with another of as well. Excellent pedal!

Is Gilmour using compression after the tube driver? Tube driver>eq>compression. Is the td-y different sounding than the td-y? Great videos!

Amazing jam, Bjorn! What’s Celestion v30 in your cabinet? 60W or 70W?

Bjorn, good job. I have a question, I also use pastfx td-y V2. I know that pressing the mid toggle button will turn off the mid knob, but I find that when I press the mid control toggle button, there is a noticeable decrease in volume. Is this normal? Does this happen to you as well?

After having the pastfx power booster, and watching you a musty I went for the hi power as well which I must say immediately became my favorite pedal in my board. Now, I’m curious as to know where in the chain orde order I should place my boss rotary Rt20, should it go at the end after the delay and reverb, or before them? Any suggestions on what would work best? Thx a lot

Sounds a lot better in your hands xD I love the pedal and SKnote Yamaha simulator too!

I have past fx and bk buthler bias knob it’s exactly the same sound!

Hey Bjorn, have you ever tried the MXR FET Driver?

Hi all… after some guidance. I purchased this pedal and am using it in a buffered loop. The pedal is mighty powerful … is it Germanium based?

I just use a tube driver for tube driver tones. You can score a 90s butler real tube used for like 150 USD or less, with a 3 band EQ.

Waiting for this song to drop on iTunes! 🤣🤣

Hi. Why did you change from 30 watt G12H speaker to the 60 watt V30s? My guess is increased power handing in the 212, but I am just wondering if the choice was tonal.

I have a Line 6 Helix.

Alh division drive 👌

I have the V2 PastFX TD-Y. I've never managed to get great tones out of an overdrive pedal so fast. Now it's a battle between my Kingsley Minstrel V3, the TD-Y, and Snouse Black Box Stage Mod... P.S. - I've never really liked the Butler Tube Driver.

For a while I was using a BK Butler almost as an always-on preamp. It makes everything after it sound glorious. However I find it's a noisy pedal and there's a bit of tone-suck. Keen to try out this clone.

how does this compare to the dover drive? for on an island and coming back to life tones specifically

What delay pedal or other pedals are you using ?

Hey Bjorn what gauge strings do you use on your strat?

It's a clone of a clone, with some special sauce. That somewhat illusive Tube Driver is a key component to a lot of post The Wall Gilmour sounds. It might not be as spectacular as a Big Muff dialed in just right, but that solo at the end does not lie. It's the good stuff.

Was your amp completely clean for this demo?

I have both a V1 TD-Y and a Buffalo FX TD-X on my board. They are very close. The TD-X is my all time favourite overdrive.

#EHX released a 50th Anniversary #BigMuff in All Gold in 2024. #Glorious

does it have a valve???

The Effectrode company produces high-quality tube pedal guitar effects. I had also the original Tube Driver by BK Butler, but it did not sounds very well. It was a very clean and charred sound - such an organ sound for keyboards. But Effectrode are very good effects ! :)

Shut up and take my money!!

I had one and really tried to make it work. Goes from thickly compressed and gainy to obnoxiously so. It doesn’t breathe. It would nail On An Island tones, but not Pulse or Division Bell. Feel the same way about the BD-2, it's particular tone doesn’t rub me right. Too much Raaagggr and not enough Whooooo.

Brilliant stuff Bjorn! Are you going back to the Albert Hall in October?

DONE....
